BOOKS

"It's a great read — an elegy for lost loves and lost cities, and a love letter to L.A. Cynical, social satire and emotional truth. Eve Babitz meets Raymond Chandler."

—PATRICK McGILLIGAN, author of Young Orson

"There is a seductive matter-of-fact quality to this novel that combines with a liquid clarity. With these people there is no doubt you know your onions."

—PHILLIP DAVISON author of The Crooked Man

"In the last few years, Michael Elias has become one of my favorite writers. And Bender's LA is, as far as I'm concerned, the best work he has ever done. I was in heaven reading it."

—LILI ANOLIK, author of Didion and Babitz

"Michael Elias writes women like a woman, and he writes a police thriller like a former cop. You Can Go Home Now will keep you up at night, breathlessly turning the pages until the riveting end. I couldn’t put this book down! Elias has masterfully written a moving and terrifying story that feels so potent and current, I can’t believe something like this hasn’t shown up in the news yet. "

—JESSICA ANYA BLAU, author of Mary Jane

"Surprenant, saisissant, f éministe, ambigu, parfait. "

"Surprising, knowing, feminist, ambiguous, perfect."

—JEREMY NOE, La Marseillaise

Bande-annonce du livre

"You Can Go Home Now is a narrative with muscle, focusing on abuse, humiliation, retribution, revenge. For those of us who love thrillers, who love voice, atmosphere, psychological wrestling matches, Elias delivers."

—JOEL ROSE, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Hats off! For those who think there is nothing new under the sun, I suggest they consider Michael Elias’s wonderfully original novel, The Last Conquistador, in which an FBI agent improbably crosses paths with Francisco Pizarro, conqueror of Peru. Elias has done his homework and he writes evocatively of other times and places, spinning an enthralling tale you haven’t heard before.”

—NICHOLAS MEYER, author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocols
