Nick’s as tightly wound as Scott is adrift, and the brothers have never gotten along. But the Cryo Center’s shutting down, and they’ve got six days to haul their father’s frozen body to a new facility in Massachusetts—without letting it thaw past –109°. And Scott needs to get back home to New York before his wife goes into labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s the summer of 2022. The country’s still reeling from the pandemic. And driving a corpse cross-country in a U-Haul through Red State America proves predictably chaotic. Nick insists on wearing a KN95 the entire time. They pass through deserts, mountains, and plains, encountering Aryan cops, ex-Mormon hitchhikers, a Gen Z commune, and MAGA-hat-wearing Walmart clerks. They play blackjack, take shrooms, and swim under the stars—all while trying to keep the body frozen and their relationship from melting down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFail Sons\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant exploration of masculinity, grief, and the ways we carry the dead—and each other—across a divided America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the short story collection \u003ci\u003eWhat’s Important Is Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e, and the novels \u003ci\u003eSensation Machines\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFlatscreen\u003c\/i\u003e, which was an Indie Next Pick and a National Jewish Book Award finalist.
