A NATIONAL BESTSELLER IN AMERICAWINNER OF THE 2025 KIRKUS PRIZE FOR FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE NBCC JOHN LEONARD PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE JAMES PATTERSON PRIZE in collaboration with Bookshop.orgChosen as a BOOK OF THE YEAR in the Washington Post and New York Times Book ReviewIn the summer of 1998, a pudgy, pasty teenager called Nathaniel Rothstein walks into Terry Tuckerâs Boxing Gym in Austin, Texas. For weeks he comes back almost every day, working out obsessively, transforming himself into something new. Then one night at the height of summer, he disappears without a trace. The Slip follows the extraordinary fallout of that night across twenty years â" the dominoes toppling around a dizzying cast of characters â" as Nathanielâs disappearance saves some lives and ruins others. Majestic and far-reaching, it is a gripping literary mystery about racial tensions in modern America, about immigrants and police officers and ordinary citizens, about queerness and belonging, money and gentrification, coming of age and growing old. Above all it is a novel of the immortal American dream, grappling with all the ways, good and bad, chosen and forced, that a person can slip out of their own story â" and into someone elseâs.
