Last Acts

National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree \'A taut, energetic, tender and wholly original debut\' George Saunders \'Sammartino\'s brilliance and originality shine out from every page\' Jenny Offill David Rizzo has been waiting for a sign from above. Owner of a failing firearms store in a sun-bleached corner of Arizona, he\'s drowning in debt and desperate for a word from his estranged adult son, Nick. When Nick is brought back from a near-fatal heroin overdose, Rizzo believes there\'s reason for hope: if Nick can return from the dead, so can his business. The flailing father-son duo embark on a marketing ploy to create the most compelling television commercial for a gun emporium the world has ever seen. But their relationship is fragile, mired in things left unsaid, and when Rizzo unknowingly supplies the weapon in a school shooting, a crash of hijinks, hope and disaster ensues.
