Overview

"What an audacious, breathtaking, and inspiring debut. The power of this formally innovative and deeply funny book is that everything exists to serve the compassionate heart at its core. Myriam Lacroix's work is a cause for celebration." --GEORGE SAUNDERS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Liberation Day

What if you had the chance to try fixing your broken relationship, again and again, until, finally, it worked out?

How It Works Out follows Myriam and Allison, a queer couple, through a series of hypotheticals. Would finding a baby in an alley save them? Would things be different if they were cannibals? Or celebrities? How would their relationship play out if one were a CEO, and the other her employee? Each reality offers a new lens to view the couple as they try to work things out--and the result is a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love's many perils and possibilities.

For fans of Carmen Maria Machado, Kelly Link, and Ottessa Moshfegh, How It Works Out is a wildly original exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds.
