A few minutes after she's become convinced she's the victim of a home invasion, \u003ci\u003eIn the Round\u003c\/i\u003e's brilliant and intimate narrator plunges us into a feminist Kafkaesque literary mystery that unfolds over the course of one weird--and dare we say, dramatic--night in San Francisco. Nothing is missing from her family's home, but everything feels wrong. So begins a sleepless night of questioning, and a novel packed with the kind of astonishing twists that leave readers wondering: Is all the world a stage, after all? Over the course of the evening, theatrical elements creep in: a cast list, a prop list, an intermission. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once an avant-garde thriller, a meditation on motherhood and mortality, a full-throated endorsement of gut-level intuition, and a tribute to the rapture of live theater in a post-pandemic world, \u003ci\u003eIn the Round\u003c\/i\u003e is a lively, inventive, and completely singular story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McSweeney's\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963270808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Handler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405772710069,"sku":"9781963270808","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781963270808.jpg?v=1790791400","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-round-9781963270808","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
