Vincent and Alice and Alice

“Vincent and Alice and Alice contains my favorite combination: laugh-out-loud funny and knife-in-your-heart sad. Inventive, surprising, and tender – I loved watching this story unfurl. No one writes like Shane Jones.”
– Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I’m Someone Else

“Shane Jones is brilliant.” – Helen Dewitt, author of The Last Samurai

“Shane Jones is our 21 st  century Jane Bowles.”
– Catherine Lacey, author of The Answers

“Vincent and Alice and Alice has everything I’ve always loved about Shane’s work – the vivid
imaginative force field, the mordant humor – while also marking a commanding departure.
This is a novel of great intimacy and heart, one that held me close and moved me deeply.”
– Laura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel

“This diaphanous novel beautifully elucidates the experience of living a life we’re not sure
how we got into, what we miss when parts of that life disappear, and the ever-present
desire for what we don’t have.”
– Melissa Broder, author of The Pisces

“In its intimate rendering of marriage, work, and a kind of archetypal American
despair, Vincent and Alice and Alice feels fresh, raw, and funny, even in its most tender,
saddest moments. It reads like a beautifully pinched nerve.”
– Kristen Iskandrian, author of Motherest
