The Futures: A New York love story
Autor Anna Pitoniaken Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2018
Evan and Julia are in love.
In love with each other, in love with New York.
New York is where they plan to build the life they've dreamt about.
New York is where Evan will be drawn into the high stakes of finance, right before the crash.
New York is where Julia, shut out of Evan's new world, will turn to someone from her past.
They'll take chances and make mistakes in pursuit of their futures.
But will New York bring them together, or tear them apart?

Tender and wise. . . Pitoniak's voice isstylish and authentic, and perfect for exploring this rich territory: youth and love and New York City
A thoroughly modern love story. Original and engaging.I absolutely loved it
Anemotional page-turner
This stands out for itsbeautiful writing, emotional depth and evocative feel
An unflinchingly honest tale of two young people trying to navigate expectations and learning to live with their own mistakes.A compelling and memorable debut
The Futuresreminded me ofBrightness Falls, Jay McInerney's great novel of New York, for Pitoniak, like McInerney, possesses an instinctual understanding of the mechanisms that make the city run and a knack for embracing her characters' thornier sides.Utterly enjoyable
The Futuresis a haunting story of a relationship going wrong, set against the backdrop of a world that feels like it has gone utterly wrong, too. This will appeal to anybody who's been an early twenty-something and not known where life will go next.I loved it
The Futuresis a love story and so much more. It captures the heartaches and exhilarations of early adulthood witha keen eye, a big heart, superb writing and an artfully intricate plot. This is a book for people of all ages looking for a place in the world, and Anna Pitoniak is a young novelist with some serious writing chops
Anna Pitoniak's debut novel,The Futures,isthe perfect cocktail of smart prose, heartwarming characters, and unmatched savvy about modern city life. LikeThe Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.orA Fortunate Age,this book will amaze and elate you
Mesmerizing. . . The novel's alternating structure is hypnotic. Pitoniak is an absolute ventriloquist, completely inhabiting the voice of the two protagonists - their ambitions, anxieties, pettiness, sadness, and great love for one another.I couldn't put it down
Set amid the 2008 financial collapse, Pitoniak's assured debut explores the cost of realizing-and misinterpreting-one's dreams . . . Navigating terrain-love and youth, college and city life-that's often oversimplified,Pitoniak eschews cliché for nuanced characterization and sharply observed detail. Evan and Julia ring true as 20-somethings, but Pitoniak's novel alsospeaks to anyone who has searched among possible futures for the way back to what Julia calls 'the person I had been all along'
Pitoniak'swell-plotted, character-driven, interior-focusednovel captures the knowable angst of the unknowable possibilities of modern young adulthood
Pitoniak expertly captures both the excitement and the oppressive darkness of being young and at sea in New York City, the unsettlingly thin line between freedom and free fall.Deeply empathetic-and always engaging. A bittersweet coming-of-age drama and a portrait of an era
The Futurestakes place on the cusp of the 2008 market crash, and soperfectly encapsulates that time of life when everything was just beginning, when you had no idea who you were or where you were going
Pitoniak maintains her keen eye for the universal insecurities facing her generation today, from romantic uncertainties and the relative benefits and downsides of hedge fund and nonprofit jobs to the emotional effort it requires to negotiate the predetermined facts of one's upbringing with the person one chooses to become
Pitoniak's debut focuses on that time of life that is at turnsboth exhilarating and terrifying: right after getting out of college, when you're forced to confront who you are and who you want to be, when you know life is just beginning, but you're also starting to feel like many of your options are fading away
Pitoniak's precise and incisive powers of observation gives us a book withstartling grace notes
Anna Pitoniak'sinspired debutcenters on two recent college grads who move to New York City together during the 2008 recession and watch their relationship change drastically
