“Mona Awad proves in her dazzling, hilarious, wildly terrifying, virtuoso new novel, All’s Well, the paradoxes and incongruities of Shakespeare’s lesser-loved play makes an ideal springboard for contemporary fiction.”—CHRISTOPHER BOLLEN

“As in Awad’s last novel Bunny, things start off weird and institutional and then spiral into madness, and as in Bunny, the experience is a fiendish delight: funny, thrilling, and creepily recognizable.”—LITHUB

“A brilliant noir comedy about art and illness…. Awad’s characters are deliciously over the top and impossible to forget, as is the author's gift for morbid humor….Endlessly thought-provoking and not to be missed.”—BOOKLIST (starred review)

“Awad artfully and acutely explores suffering, artistry, and the limitations of empathy.”—KIRKUS REVIEWS

“There’s both pathos and humor in this story of how we suffer and the ways in which we’re healed.”—BOOKPAGE

“A dazzling wild ride of a novel – daring, fresh, entertaining, and magical. Mona Awad is a powerful and poetic storyteller, telling us something new and profound here about the connection between suffering and elation. When I was away from this book, I longed to get back to it."—GEORGE SAUNDERS, New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo

"Wild and exhilarating and so fresh it takes your breath away, All's Well is an utterly delicious novel of pain and vitality, Shakespeare and the uncanny, and our own subtle moral failures when we brush up against the pain of others. Mona Awad's talent is so vital that it absolutely roars out of her. "—LAUREN GROFF, New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies

"Oh my lord what a fabulous novel--knocked me out!"—MARY KARR, New York Times bestselling author of The Liars’ Club, Cherry, and Lit

“In this eerie and engrossing novel, Mona Awad deftly delivers a narrator as mesmerizing as she is unreliable. Miranda’s quest for her heart’s desires illuminates the complex bargains one woman dares to make in her most desperate moments. With its mordant humor and potent surreality, All’s Well is a gripping read, and Awad is a writer of great intensity and insight."—HELEN PHILLIPS, author of The Need

"For all my fellow right-thinking adoring readers of Bunny, another dark and insane gem from Mona Awad, full of scintillating insights on Shakespeare, pain, and the human condition.”—ELIF BATUMAN, author of The Idiot, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

"Tragic, macabre, and wicked. I laughed out loud the whole way through. One of the funniest books I’ve read in years."—HEATHER O'NEILL, author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel
