The Instructions by Adam Levin, which takes place over four days and is more than 1,000 pages long, is getting extraordinary reviews. Gurion Maccabee and his army of tweens are determined to take down their unfair school system. Odd, yes, but there is so much more to this sprawling novel and the writing is sparkling. Levin is being compared to David Foster Wallace. First editions of this small print run from McSweeney’s come in red, blue, and grey boards. We have the blue only. $29.00
