āMake room, American fiction, for a meaningful new voice.ā āDwight Garner, New York Times Book Review
āAs blazing and distinctive a performance as Iāve beheld in a long while . . . Iām amazed.āĀ āJonathan Lethem
An electrifying debut novel from an āunusually gifted writerā (Lorrie Moore) about the radical intimacy of physical competition
An unexpected tragedy at a community pool. A familyās unrelenting expectation of victory. The desire to gain or lose control; to make time speed up or stop; to be frighteningly, undeniably good at something. Each of the eight teenage girl boxers in this blistering debut novel has her own reasons for the sacrifices she has made to come to Reno, Nevada, to compete to be named the best in the country. Through a series of face-offs that are raw, ecstatic, and punctuated by flashes of humor and tenderness, prizewinning writer Rita Bullwinkel animates the competitorsā pasts and futures as they summon the emotion, imagination, and force of will required to win.
Frenetic, surprising, and strikingly original, Headshot is a portrait of the desire, envy, perfectionism, madness, and sheer physical pleasure that motivates young women to fightāeven, and perhaps especially, when no one else is watching.
