Woke Up Lonely

"Intricately imagined and timely . . . Maazel is an entertaining writer with a dry, droll sense of humor." --The New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice

* Shortlisted for the Believer Book Award *

Fiona Maazel's Woke Up Lonely follows a cult leader, his ex-wife, and the four people he takes hostage. It's about loneliness in America, North Korea, espionage, a city underneath Cincinnati, cloud seeding, and eavesdropping. It's also a big, sweeping love story.
