The Rumpus Book Club is proudly presenting Treasure Island!!!, Sara Levine’s debut novel as our December pick.
“The story of a ferocious obsession,” Treasure Island!!! chronicles a college graduate’s fateful reading of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island,” and the adventures that follow. The book has received enthusiastic endorsements from the likes of Alice Sebold, Aimee Bender, and former Rumpus Book Club author Adam Levin, who says, “Had Grace Paley spent her youth hanging out with Larry David, listening to the Ramones, and reading Stanley Elkin, she’d have probably written something like Treasure Island!!! It’s fast-paced and intimate, as warm at its center as its surface is mean, and funny, funny, funny. I love it. By the end of next week, I’ll have read it three times.”
You can read it three times by the end of the month if you get with the Rumpus Book Club. As a club member you can reap some awesome small-press literary benefits like these. For $25 a month, you get a book that has yet to be released—a book that comes with an online chat with the author and opportunities to review the book on the Rumpus.
