LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FOR FICTION"Claire Oshetsky's novel is a marvel: its language a joy, its imagination dizzying." ?Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World BehindAn exhilarating, provocative novel of motherhood in extremisTiny is pregnant. Her husband is delighted. ?You think this baby is going to be like you, but it's not like you at all,? she warns him. ?This baby is an owl-baby.?When Chouette is born small and broken-winged, Tiny works around the clock to meet her daughter's needs. Left on her own to care for a child who seems more predatory bird than baby, Tiny vows to raise Chouette to be her authentic self. Even in those times when Chouette's behaviors grow violent and strange, Tiny's loving commitment to her daughter is unwavering. When she discovers that her husband is on an obsessive and increasingly dangerous quest to find a ?cure? for their daughter, Tiny must decide whether Chouette should be raised to fit in or to be herself?and learn what it truly means to be a mother.Arresting, darkly funny, and unsettling, Chouette is a brilliant exploration of ambition, sacrifice, perceptions of ability, and the ferocity of motherly love. von Oshetsky, Claire
