Categories: Literature & Fiction
A Quitter's Paradise (2023, SJP Lit) is Elysha Chang's darkly comic debut novel about grief and family secrets. Eleanor insists she is doing fine. She has quit her PhD program and is running unauthorized experiments on illegitimately obtained mice, she is hiding things from her husband, and she has not gone through the belongings of her mother, who has died. As she resists every reckoning, the novel interweaves her story with her parents' and the secrets they kept from her.
