Herschel Caine is a master of the universe. His hedge fund, built
on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from
systematically sapping profits from the market. His SoHo offices
(shoes optional, therapy required) are ready for desperate
investors to flood through the doors. But on May 12, his mind is
elsewhere-at his Cobble Hill townhouse and the dinner party
designed to impress his flawless neighbours. When the soiree
falters, Herschel concocts a prank that goes horrifically awry,
plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel's
perfect world starts to slip away, he clings to the moral clarity
he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden connection with
his neighbour's dog. A wildly inventive, reality-bending trip, The
Vegan holds a mirror up to its reader and poses a question only a
hedge fund manager could: is purity a convertible asset? The more
Herschel disavows his original sin, and the more it threatens to be
revealed, the more it becomes something else entirely: a way into a
forgotten world of animals, nature, and life beyond words. Andrew
Lipstein, the author of Last Resort, a novel that 'you'll think
about . . . for weeks after you read the last pages' (Los Angeles
Times), challenges our ideas of contemporary morality in his
scintillating, provocative second novel.
