Described as 鈥渁 twisted mystery about metaphysics, modern love, memory, and mind control,鈥� Cult Classic is Crosley鈥檚 second novel, one that Glamour magazine is calling the 鈥渕ost anticipated book of 2022.鈥� Set in New York City鈥檚 Chinatown, 鈥渢he novel offers a witty and fantastical story of dating and experimental psychology in New York City,鈥� according to Publishers Weekly. Nick Hornby, author of High Fidelity and the acclaimed memoir Fever Pitch, raved about Cult Classic, calling the novel 鈥渨itty鈥攐f course, because Sloane Crosley wrote it鈥攁nd razor sharp, and very clever, ditto, but it鈥檚 more romantic and redemptive than one had any right to expect. It also contains one-liners destined to appear on T-shirts and coffee mugs. It鈥檚 so good. I couldn鈥檛 stop reading it.鈥� Crosley is the author of The New York Times best-selling essay collections I Was Told There鈥檇 Be Cake (a 2009 finalist for The Thurber Prize for American Humor) and How Did You Get This Number, as well as Look Alive Out There (a 2019 finalist for The Thurber Prize for American Humor) and the best-selling novel The Clasp.
