Аннотация

Two bombs over Japan. Two shells. One called Little Boy, one called Fat Man. Three days apart. The one implicit in the other. Brothers.
Winner of the 2013 Horatio Nelson Fiction Prize. In this striking debut novel, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan are personified as Fat Man and Little Boy. This small measure of humanity is a cruelty the bombs must suffer. Given life from death, the brothers’ journey is one of surreal and unsettling discovery, transforming these symbols of mass destruction into beacons of longing and hope.

“[An] imaginative debut… Meginnis’ story is both surprising and incisive.”
— Publishers Weekly

Named one of “the year’s most impressive debut novelists” by the 2014 Brooklyn Book Festival
