Lump

Lump is both a page-turner and a disquieting and complex take on marriage, illness, and privilege. Whitlock is wry, smart, and never boring. * Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People *
Parenthood, money, marriage, illness - everyday mini-tragedies morph into snort-worthy comedy when put under Nathan Whitlock's microscope. Lump drives in shivs of self-recognition on every page, along with lines you'll want to share with the stranger sitting next to you on the subway. * Andrew Pyper, author of The Residence *
In Lump, things fall completely, often hilariously, apart for a seemingly perfect Toronto family. With a keen eye and plenty of verve and humour, Nathan Whitlock peels back the facades of a cast of urbanites to reveal messy truths, ugly appetites, and highly questionable decision-making. * Elyse Friedman, author of The Opportunist *
You might call Nathan Whitlock's sense of humour the gallows kind: he readily locates the brutal and exposes its ridiculous underside. * Winnipeg Review, for Congratulations On Everything *
