Conspiracy and pop culture collide in 1991 New York in this dark debut from Greg Olear. Taylor Schmidt—twenty-three, single, and jobless—arrives in the Big Apple desperate for work and hungry for love. Through the Quid Pro Quo Employment Agency she finds the perfect job and the perfect boyfriend . . . but perfection has its price. Part thriller, part satire, part period piece, Totally Killer is a total page-turner.

"...a whip-smart, hilarious, and deeply moving meditation on fatherhood and marriage." --Jonathan Evison, author of West of Here and All About Lulu "In vivid Crayola yellow, Olear brilliantly highlights the bliss and pathos, fear, loathing and lusting of 21st century parenthood. Yet beneath the sippy cups, crumpled Happy Meal bags, and Mom Jeans intertwined with another dad's sweatpants on the floor of this runaway minivan of a novel lies much more. FATHERMUCKER is nothing less than a moving and sneakily profound meditation on what it means to exist in these absurd and troubling times." -- James P. Othmer, author of The Futurist and Holy Water "..a book you can't wait for your friends to read, too -- an exhilarating and fearless celebration of life's highs, lows, and all the glorious in-betweens." -- Maria Semple, author of This One Is Mine "Fathermucker is a staggering achievement. A reflection on love, marriage and parenthood, so astoundingly honest, laugh-out-loud funny, and genuine, it will break your heart." -- Robin Antalek author of The Summer We Fell Apart "I LOVE this book. Packed with fantastically spot-on parenting details, and so funny, I kept reading it out loud to everyone around me (Yes, even the kids. Let's hope they don't remember)." -- Lenore Skenazy, author of the book and blog Free Range Kids "With candor and wit, Greg Olear takes the reader to the most uncomfortable truths of marriage and parenthood--and yet Fathermucker oozes with vulnerability and love. I burst into tears several times while reading this novel, and was beyond moved by the anguished acceptance of young Roland's autism. Compassionate, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny." -- Susan Henderson, author of Up from the Blue "Funny, wise, sexy...this claustrophobic vision of contemporary parenting hits home." -- Thelma Adams, author of Playdate "Only a writer with the verve, daring and great talent of Greg Olear could pull off a novel that deals with sippy cups, masturbation, autism spectrum disorder, affairs, and playdates all at once. Fathermucker is delightfully unexpected, wholly original, and a joy to read." -- Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Drinking Closer to Home

Trump/Russia is the greatest political scandal in American history. It’s also the most complex. In this remarkable and necessary work, novelist Greg Olear weaves the loose threads of Trump/Russia into a short, easy-to-follow narrative. Dirty Rubles is an ideal primer for those new to the story, a useful review for those already in the know, and a guidebook for the agnostic #MAGA fan—a compelling overview of Trump/Russia that every American should read."If ignorance is your bliss, Dirty Rubles isn't for you. Greg Olear deliciously tears down that barrier Trump has erected between the truth and the American people.—Cheri Jacobus, USA Today columnist, political pundit and Trump target“While Donald Trump represented the greatest threat to the United States since the Civil War, the US Media abdicated its duty to tell the American people the truth. Luckily, skilled writers and patriots like Greg Olear stepped into the fray, keeping readers rapt as he helped condense complex conspiracy into lucid narrative. Dirty Rubles is a long-form version of that lucidity, a cogent book that will catch people up to speed as they realize the story of the century was kept from them. To help America get back on track, read this book and share its insights with family and friends.” —Eric Garland, strategic analyst, author of Future Inc: How Businesses Can Anticipate and Profit from What’s NEXT and How to Predict the Future and Win.
