How well can you ever truly know somebody—even your own partner?
Just how well can you ever truly know somebody?
Casper Gray is a self-effacing thirty-year-old living a comfortable life in the idyll of middle-class suburbia. He and his beautiful wife, Jane, have been married for seven years, and are trying to have a baby. They own a cute little dog, Wallace. Casper's respected in his job as a high school English teacher. And he's liked in the neighborhood—well, mostly.
But one simple discovery threatens to unravel it all.
In a week where everything begins to fray, Casper must finally take ownership of his life, reconcile the present, and find a way forward.
Full of wit, pathos, and drama, Just Another Week in Suburbia explores how the littlest things in everyday life can trigger the most tumultuous journeys of panic, self-examination, and chaos.
"Zig’s unsettling work peels back the white, middle class veneer so many of us recognize from suburban life… compelling us to reflect on the hidden lives of those around us."
- Andrew Pople, 2SER / Tuesday Book Club
"[Zig] has written this fabulous deliciously naughty book called Just Another Week in Suburbia… with such humor and with such grace with such powers of beauty and observation that I really, really enjoyed it… He does it so well."
