Supersonic

""The Great Seattle novel has arrived."" ––Ed Park, author of Same Bed Different Dreams “On the soul-of-the-city level, this is the best of all the Seattle books I know of. Supersonic is a huge achievement” —Fred Moody, author of Seattle and the Demons of Ambition “Supersonic exquisitely depicts intergenerational resilience and the human cost of progress. Heartbreaking, hilarious, incisive, and deeply relevant, Kohnstamm deftly interrogates the aspirations of a city vying for world-class status.” —Cynthia Brothers, founder Vanishing Seattle “A dazzling, expansive new vision of the West, Supersonic is both sweeping and intimate, spanning more than a hundred years on the land now known as Seattle and recasting westward expansion through the eyes of a vivid, indelible array of characters."" —Maxim Loskutoff, author of Old King “Evocative of Richard Powers and Maria Semple in its scope, empathy, and humor, Kohnstamm's gift for distinct and unerring characterizations make Supersonic a truly epic novel of its place and time."" —J. Ryan Stradal, author of Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club “Masterfully rendered, and mercilessly readable. Kohnstamm populates these pages with insight, hilarity, emotion, and unforgettable characters. Supersonic is a novel with so much narrative propulsion that it manages to live up to its name.” —Jonathan Evison, author of Lawn Boy
