About this listen

 'A meaty comedy with a bleeding heart, highly recommended for all animals who read'
Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Netanyahus

Herschel Caine is a soon-to-be master of the universe. His hedge fund, built on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from systematically extracting obscene profits from the market.

But on the night of 12 May, at his elegant Brooklyn townhouse, he has something else on his mind - the dinner party he and his wife have devised to woo their new A-list neighbours. When the evening fizzles, Herschel indulges in a devilish prank that goes horrifically awry, plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As his tightly constructed world starts to unravel, he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden connection with a neighbourhood dog.

In The Vegan, Andrew Lipstein challenges our notions of virtue with a brilliant tale of guilt, greed, and how far we'll go to be good.©2023 Andrew Lipstein (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological Technothrillers Thriller & Suspense Fiction Technology Thriller Morality

Critic reviews

Andrew Lipstein's The Vegan is a meaty comedy with a bleeding heart, highly recommended for all animals who read (Joshua Cohen, winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction)
The Vegan is the weirdest novel I've read in ages. In a good way. A genre unto itself. Skillfully written and strangely addictive (Lionel Shriver)
All stars

a well written story about an unlikeable character from his point of view. Unfortunately this mad it a bit of a drag to read.

Absolutely shite I mean there's a unstanding init but a pathetic amount sociopath in it like I just can't grasp any point to this at all

Disturbing and stupid
