Praise for Neon in DaylightA New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceA January 2018 Indie Next Pick Named One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2018 by Esquire,&#160;NYLON, Bustle, Vogue, Refinery29, and more"What do you get when a writer of extreme intelligence, insight, style and beauty chronicles the lives of self&ndash;absorbed hedonists&mdash;The Great Gatsby,&#160;Bright Lights, Big City, and now&#160;Neon in Daylight. Hermione Hoby paints a garish world that drew me in and held me spellbound. She is a marvel."" &mdash;Ann Patchett, author of&#160;Commonwealth"A radiant first novel. . . . [Neon in Daylight] has antecedents in the great novels of the 1970s: Renata Adler&rsquo;s Speedboat, Elizabeth Hardwick&rsquo;s Sleepless Nights, Joan Didion&rsquo;s Play It as It Lays. . . . Precision&mdash;of observation, of language&mdash;is Hoby&rsquo;s gift. Her sentences are sleek and tailored. Language molds snugly to thought." &mdash;Parul Sehgal, The New York Times"A smart, shimmering study of youthful self&ndash;discovery and the power of place, unfurling over the course of a single summer in the city. . . The book&rsquo;s prose is impressively precise, glinting with pocketable images and insights." &mdash;The Guardian"[A] luminous, crackling debut." &mdash;Entertainment Weekly"Hoby&rsquo;s descriptive language is spectacular, like that of Elif Batuman with a freer spirit or Eve Babitz if she were writing about the opposite coast. . . . Luminous and wonderful. Hoby spins an intricate narrative that careens toward myriad social and emotional collisions. Her style has a delicious, raucous quality, and the way she weaves together her rotating perspectives keeps the book chugging along nicely. Her talent is clear, and her debut is a very good one." &mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books&ldquo;Neon in Daylight is Hermione Hoby&rsquo;s debut novel, and her skill on the sentence level &mdash; along with a keen eye for detail &mdash; will catapult her to stardom.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Review of Books"For the person who spends most of their summer nights on an only semi&ndash;legally accessed roof in New York City. For the person who has walked out of her apartment and into a bodega without bothering to put shoes on. For the person who buys cigarettes (or wine or, like, almond milk) based on the packaging . . . For the person who still mourns Craigslist's Casual Encounters. For the person who has a soft spot for those middle&ndash;aged male writers who are still living off the fire of their early success, long after its glow has dimmed. For the person who knows the name of their bodega cat." &mdash;NYLON, One of the Best Books of the Year, So Far"You'll adore the bustling, artsy version of NYC in this read.&rdquo; &mdash;Bustle, 1 of 11 Books Like Sweetbitter to Read if You're Obsessed with the Novel & New TV Show"The depiction of New York in the summer has really beguiled people. . . There's a stultifying, steamy, hedonistic, kind of sexually charged reverie, the static of it all. Being a journalist, [Hoby] talks about her book so lyrically. . . . More than any other city in the world, New York is written about, and it's rewritten. It's overlaid with other people's interpretations of it. A good read." &mdash;The High Low"Highly propulsive reading. . . . With effortlessly fluid prose, Hoby, herself a New York transplant from London, excels most promisingly in depicting the vivid, perhaps most iconic American city, especially as seen through the eyes of a curious and perceptive newcomer." &mdash;Booklist"In language so vivid that readers could break a sweat in an igloo, debut novelist Hoby brings to life the seamy underworld of bright, bored people during a suffocating New York City summer, demonstrating the sure hand seen in works by Bret Easton Ellis and Tama Janowitz." &mdash;Library Journal"[A] promising debut. . . . This is a sharp novel with perceptive observations . . . and vivid, complicated relationships." &mdash;Publishers Weekly"Hoby is a master of atmosphere." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Neon in Daylight is a classic New York City novel&mdash;sleek and stylish, both in literary craft and in the milieu portrayed. Hermione Hoby's misfits combust on the page, but what sets this book apart is that her city isn&rsquo;t just a playground&mdash;it&rsquo;s remarkably lonely, punctuated by a series of connections and breakdowns that leave you feeling compassion for the characters long after the book is finished." &mdash; Stephanie Danler, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter"Bracingly intelligent and imbued with deep, humane wit, Neon in Daylight is an ode to the transience of the present, an exploration of the fierce and fragile bonds that guide us. Hermione Hoby channels the spirit of Joan Didion and the keen observational eye of Ben Lerner to show us the here and now, made luminously real." &mdash; Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine"Neon in Daylight perfectly nails the humidity, hustle, and heartbreak of being young in New York City. With the eyes and soul of a fla&#770;neur,  Hermione Hoby's prose renews the physical world like a near&ndash;death experience. Smart and classy, this debut novel is, like neon, both rare and lighter than air."&mdash;Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens
