Amazon.com description: Product Description: ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST BOOKS
The Wall Street Journal ⢠Slate ⢠Kansas City Star ⢠Flavorwire ⢠Policy Mic ⢠Buzzfeed
âNecessary Errors is a very good novel, an enviably good one, and to read it is to relive all the anxieties and illusions and grand projects of oneâs own youth.ââJames Wood, The New Yorker
An exquisite debut novel that brilliantly captures the lives and romances of young expatriates in newly democratic Prague
Itâs October 1990. Jacob Putnam is young and full of ideas. Heâs arrived a year too late to witness Czechoslovakiaâs revolution, but he still hopes to find its spirit, somehow. He discovers a country at a crossroads between communism and capitalism, and a picturesque city overflowing with a vibrant, searching sense of possibility. As the men and women Jacob meets begin to fall in love with one another, no one turns out to be quite the same as the idea Jacob has of themâincluding Jacob himself.
Necessary Errors is the long-awaited first novel from literary critic and journalist Caleb Crain. Shimmering and expansive, Crainâs prose richly captures the turbulent feelings and discoveries of youth as it stretches toward adulthoodâthe chance encounters that grow into lasting, unforgettable experiences and the surprises of our first ventures into a foreign worldâand the treasure of living in Prague during an era of historic change.
