Rezensionen
A Lit Hub "Most Anticipated Book" _ A Vogue "Best Book So Far" _ An La Times "Book to Add to Your Reading List" _ A Town & Country "Best Book to Read" _ An Inside Hook "Book You Should Be Reading" _ A Tertulia "Best Crime Novel and Thriller" _ A New York Post "Books that are Absolute Must-Reads" -

"...[a] terrific noir thriller.... Comparisons to `The Graduate' and `The Talented Mr. Ripley' are inevitable. But The Winner, which has some very canny things to say about class and privilege, owes its biggest debt to Theodore Dreiser. This is `An American Tragedy' diabolically turned on its head."
- Washington Post

"A page-turning story of sex, power, and money." - Vogue

"Readers will zoom through Wayne's...bitingly satirical literary thriller." - Booklist

"A summer among the Massachusetts elite introduces a young law student to a life and temptations he hadn't imagined...The novelist expertly inserts himself inside Conor's psyche...A novel that puts a fresh twist on getting what you deserve." - Kirkus Reviews

"Be prepared to fully lose yourself in The Winner-a book I started and then simply couldn't stop reading. Teddy Wayne has written a timely, topical novel that still somehow feels like a classic." - Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River

"The Winner is a harrowing romp through the bedrooms of the rich and entitled. Teddy Wayne takes us behind the gates of a super-exclusive community, an enclave of grotesque wealth where everyone gets what they want-with disastrous consequences. A gripping, provocative, and delightfully shocking novel." - Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of Wellness

"A riveting novel about how to have the rich and eat them, too. Sexy, breathless, and brutal." - Julia May Jonas, author of Vladimir

"The Winner is a lean, careening thrill of a book that kept me awake half the night and away from work the following day. Conor O'Toole's steady embroilment with the wealthy people he teaches tennis to is drawn with exquisite dread. Wayne has a genius for brief observations that reveal whole reams of truth about class, poverty and competition, while also never allowing the hideously compelling story to let up for a moment. Exhilarating, cutting, and funny, The Winner is already one of my favorite books of the year." - Megan Nolan, internationally bestselling author of Acts of Desperation and Ordinary Human Failings

"Over the last decade and a half, Teddy Wayne has emerged as a writer willing to reckon with some of the biggest issues facing the nation." - InsideHook
