About This Book
Ivan, a solitary man in his seventies, proposes a trip to Europe to his estranged daughter Nina. They meet at LAX, where their departure is delayed again and again. As security tightens and the airport grows evasive, a portrait of a fractured father-daughter bond turns into a novel of eerie suspense at the end of the world. Longlisted for the 2026 National Book Award for Fiction.
