ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE 'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A contemporary literary classic and "a n accomplished psychological thriller ... absolutely chilling" ( Village Voice ) , f rom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Goldfinch. One of The Atlantic ’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries.

Forceful, cerebral, and impeccably controlled.” — The New York Times
