The Book of Revelations

By Mitchell Hadley

"Haunting, layered, and exquisitely crafted, The Book of Revelations weaves a fractured life into a luminous mosaic of shifting voices and identities, drawing readers into a profound meditation on memory, loss, and the stories we tell to survive long after innocence is gone." - NewInBooks

Every life has a story waiting to be revealed.

In the American Midwest of the 1960s, eight-year-old Nan Jaffe's world collapses in a single night. What follows is a fractured journey through memory, identity, guilt, longing, and reinvention-a life refracted through shifting voices and perspectives across decades of American life.

Moving from suburban childhood to the cultural upheavals of the 1980s, The Book of Revelations traces the hidden emotional lives of people struggling to perform "normal" while something beneath the surface quietly breaks apart.

Haunting, layered, and psychologically intimate, this postmodern literary novel explores the stories people construct to survive the loss of innocence, the burden of memory, and the fear of truly being known.

Early reader feedback:

"This is real literary fiction. The 1965 suburban world feels completely real and completely suffocating. Everyone is performing 'normal' while something beneath the surface is cracking. Just beautiful."
