A New Novel by Austin Ratner

In the Land of the Living

A dazzling story of fathers, sons, and brothers - bound by love, divided by history. Part family saga, part coming-of-age story, In the Land of the Living is a kinetic, fresh, bawdy yet earnest shot to the heart of a novel about coping with death, and figuring out how and why to live.
