Overview
A Big Chill for our times, celebrating decades-long friendships and promisesāespecially to ourselvesāby the bestselling and beloved author of The Guncle.
Itās been a minuteāor five yearsāsince Jordan Vargas last saw his college friends, and twenty-eight years since their graduation when their adult lives officially began. Now Jordan, Jordy, Naomi, Craig, and Marielle find themselves at the brink of a new decade, with all the responsibilities of adulthood, yet no closer to having their lives figured out. Though not for a lack of trying. Over the years theyāve reunited in Big Sur to honor a decades-old pact to throw each other living āfunerals,ā celebrations to remind themselves that life is worth livingāthat their lives mean something, to one another if not to themselves.
But this reunion is different. Theyāre not gathered as they were to bolster Marielle as her marriage crumbled, to lift Naomi after her parents died, or to intervene when Craig pleaded guilty to art fraud. This time, Jordan is sitting on a secret that will upend their pact.
A deeply honest tribute to the growing pains of selfhood and the people who keep us going, coupled with Steven Rowleyās signature humor and heart, The Celebrants is a moving tale about the false invincibility of youth and the beautiful ways in which friendshipĀ helps usĀ celebrate our lives, even amid the deepest challenges of living.
