Product Information
Named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Center For Fiction First Novel Prize Named a Booklist Best Book of the Year A mesmerizing, indelible coming-of-age story about a girl in Boston's tightly-knit Ethiopian community who falls under the spell of a charismatic hustler out to change the world A haunting story of fatherhood, national identity, and what it means to be an immigrant in America today, Nafkote Tamirat's The Parking Lot Attendant explores how who we love, the choices we make, and the places we're from combine to make us who we are. The story begins on an undisclosed island where the unnamed narrator and her father are the two newest and least liked members of a commune that has taken up residence there. Though the commune was built on utopian principles, it quickly becomes clear that life here is not as harmonious as the founders intended. After immersing us in life on the island, our young heroine takes us back to Boston to recount the events that brought her here. Though she and her father belong to a wide Ethiopian network in the city, they mostly keep to themselves, which is how her father prefers it. This detached existence only makes Ayale's arrival on the scene more intoxicating. The unofficial king of Boston's Ethiopian community, Ayale is a born hustler--when he turns his attention to the narrator, she feels seen for the first time. Ostensibly a parking lot attendant, Ayale soon proves to have other projects in the works, which the narrator becomes more and more entangled in to her father's growing dismay. By the time the scope of Ayale's schemes--and their repercussions--become apparent, our narrator has unwittingly become complicit in something much bigger and darker than she ever imagined.

Reviews
"Captivating" --Marie Claire "Ms. Tamirat has reason to be confident. When her novel is good, it's very good indeed." --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal "[An] enjoyable debut...Tamirat wonderfully captures her narrator's teenage capriciousness, particularly in her feelings for Ayale, which slew between idolatry, infatuation, anger and disgust." -- AM New York "An unsettling, inventive debut novel...On the level of both prose and story, The Parking Lot Attendant feels startling and new." -- Electric Literature , 46 Books By Women of Color to Read in 2018 "A searing novel about identity in America today." -- Book Riot "This debut novel contains multitudes." -- Bustle , 11 New Books by Women of Color Everyone Needs to Read in 2018 "Engrossing." --Southern Living "Elegant...articulate and graceful... This immersive style of Tamirat's writing is enthralling from the beginning to the end." -- The Hardvard Crimson "Tamirat's wonderful debut novel weaves growing pains, immigrant troubles, and moments of biting humor. . . .[a] riveting coming-of-age story full of murky motives, deep emotion, and memorable characters." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Mysterious and steadily exciting...Tamirat's razor-sharp prose fashions a magnificently dimensional and emotionally resonant narrator, herself a storyteller who frames her own tale with beguiling skill. This debut is remarkable in every way." --Booklist (starred) "Captivating for both its unusual detail and observant take on teenage trust. Curious and delightful." --Kirkus "A fine addition to immigrant literature that also manages to become a page-turning thriller that brings to mind such masterpieces as Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker ." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "Nafkote Tamirat is a wonderful writer -- generous and funny, intelligent and astute -- and The Parking Lot Attendant is a spectacularly smart and moving novel I couldn't put down. A fantastic debut by a writer with talent in spades." --Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans "What does a girl do with parents who continually disappoint, with the desire to know a country that has made her, but she has never seen, with the overtures of a magnetic stranger, with her own haunting loneliness? Tamirat answers these questions and more in a thoughtful meditation on the thorny barbs of friendship, family, and patriotism in this fine debut novel. Steeped in allegory and dark humor, The Parking Lot Attendant will leave you wanting more, contemplating the impossibility of ever truly knowing the people you love." -- Naomi Jackson, author of The Star Side of Bird Hill "Nafkote Tamirat is a blazing new talent. The Parking Lot Attendant reads like David Mitchell and Graham Greene decided to collaborate on a novel. But guess what? Neither of those dudes could come up with something like this. Wild and witty, funny and rueful this is the enviable debut of a spectacular artist." --Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling, "An unsettling, inventive debut novel...On the level of both prose and story, The Parking Lot Attendant feels startling and new." - Electric Literature , 46 Books By Women of Color to Read in 2018 "A searing novel about identity in America today." - Book Riot "Engrossing." -Southern Living "Tamirat's wonderful debut novel weaves growing pains, immigrant troubles, and moments of biting humor. . . .[a] riveting coming-of-age story full of murky motives, deep emotion, and memorable characters." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A fine addition to immigrant literature that also manages to become a page-turning thriller that brings to mind such masterpieces as Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker ." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "Nafkote Tamirat is a wonderful writer -- generous and funny, intelligent and astute -- and The Parking Lot Attendant is a spectacularly smart and moving novel I couldn't put down.

But Tamirat feels free to cut across boundaries, blending surreal suspense with psychological realism. Her narrator''s acerbic yet candid voice is disarming; it will keep you steady company even as her novel subverts expectations again and again." -- The Atlantic "Ms. Tamirat has reason to be confident. When her novel is good, it''s very good indeed." --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal "[An] enjoyable debut...Tamirat wonderfully captures her narrator''s teenage capriciousness, particularly in her feelings for Ayale, which slew between idolatry, infatuation, anger and disgust." -- AM New York "A worthwhile and spooky read... it''s a captivating story, and we come to care deeply for the unnamed narrator, a lonely, brave teenage girl who falls under the spell of a charming, mysteriously rich parking lot attendant named Ayale." -- The Star Tribune (Minneapolis) "An unsettling, inventive debut novel...On the level of both prose and story, The Parking Lot Attendant feels startling and new." -- Electric Literature , 46 Books By Women of Color to Read in 2018 "A searing novel about identity in America today." -- Book Riot "This debut novel contains multitudes." -- Bustle , 11 New Books by Women of Color Everyone Needs to Read in 2018 "Engrossing." --Southern Living "Elegant...articulate and graceful...

Seller states that the listing was a typo and there was only 1 item that was for sale, not the 2X that was written in title.. I contacted her and she states to return, knowing she doesn't except returns. I tried to do so and it states not allowed. So now I have a product I can't return due to ebay not allowing me to do so. Poor quality seller.
