Fiction
In the tradition of Native Speaker and The Family Fang,
Matthew Salesses weaves together the tangled threads of
identity, love, growing up, and relationships in his
stunning first novel, The Hundred-Year Flood. This beautiful
and dreamlike debut follows twenty-two-year-old Tee as he
escapes to Prague in the wake of his uncle’s suicide and the
aftermath of 9/11. Tee tries to convince himself that living in a new place
will mean a new identity and a chance to shed the parallels
between him and his adopted father. His life intertwines
with Pavel Picasso, a painter famous for revolution; Katka,
his equally alluring wife; and Picasso's partner—a giant of
a man with an American name. In the shadow of a looming
flood that comes every one hundred years, Tee contemplates
his own place in life as both mixed and adopted and as an
American in a strange land full of heroes, myths, and ghosts.
