""The Art of Falling Apart has something for everyone: toxic love, a haunting, an unfinished portrait, a thirst for vengeance, an exploration of the power of art in all its forms, and a life-sized cardboard cutout of Eddie Van Halen. If you want to snort-laugh, gasp, marvel, relate, tear up, and keep turning pages, this is the book for you. It is a quirky, unputdownable delight.""-Abby Geni, author of The Lightkeepers ""Haunting and haunted, Steven Lang's The Art of Falling Apart is a seriocomic novel whose alternating narrators differ not only in their points of view but in their planes of existence. Set with a careful eye in the Twin Cities, it's a darkly comic, soulful, and musical exploration of essential themes: heredity, grief, art, inspiration, talent, class, love.""- Dylan Hicks, author of Boarded Windows and Amateurs ""Inventive, offbeat, and unexpectedly moving, The Art of Falling Apart follows a struggling painter whose greatest work may not be entirely his own-and whose complicated bond with his dead mother refuses to stay buried. With humor and emotional bite, it charts romantic misfires, artistic doubt, and the eerie intimacy of grief. Strange and tender in equal measure, it's a story about creativity, love, and becoming your own person.""-Rebecca Kanner author of Last One Seen. ""The Art of Falling Apart is a darkly funny and deeply true exploration of human flaws and our shared yearning for connection, rendered bingeable through its perfect prose. Juxtaposing grief and imagination, Lang paints vivid interior worlds, highlighting what we see and don't see, and calling our hearts to settle on what really matters. I loved it.""-Toni Halleen, author of The Surrogate and The Good Samaritan
