Brutes: A Novel
Dizz Tate"By the end, Brutes feels wonderfully untethered, wild & unpredictable. The novel is an exploration of adolescent trauma & its otherworldly manifestations rather than a retelling of a trope." — Danya Kukafka, The New York Times Book Review
We would not be born out of sweetness, we were born out of rage, we felt it in our bones.
In Falls Landing, Florida - a place built of theme parks, swampy lakes, & scorched bougainvillea flowers - something sinister lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively orbit around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is mesmerizing, older, & in love with Eddie. But suddenly, Sammy goes missing. Where is she?
Watching from a distance, they edge ever closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry town & the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they see will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives.
"This isn't a book primarily concerned with finding Sammy. Instead, Tate sidesteps the missing girl trope & makes the far more compelling choice to focus her lens on a pack of 13-year-old girls who are used to blending into the background... In plunging the reader into the girls' collective perspective, Brutes makes for an original & stylistically ambitious take on the well-trodden subject matter of girls in peril..." - Kristen Martin, NPR
Through a darkly beautiful & brutally compelling lens, Dizz Tate captures the violence, horrors & manic joys of girlhood. Brutes is a novel about the seemingly unbreakable bonds in the "we" of young friendship, & the moment it is broken forever.
