"State of Paradise is a weird, wild, thrilling journey through cults, addiction, messed-up families, the pandemic, the weather, and the strangeness and beauty of the great state of Florida. Laura van den Berg's writing is razor sharp and full of depth and humor, and she has an incredible imagination. This book is freaking brilliant."
—Jami Attenberg, author of All This Could Be Yours

A sticky, rain-soaked reckoning with the elusive nature of storytelling, Laura van den Berg’s State of Paradise is an interlocking and page-turning whirlwind. With inimitable control and thrilling style, she reaches deep into the void and returns with a story far stranger than either reality or fiction.

Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome Laura van den Berg to the bookstore to celebrate the relesase of her highly anticipated new novel, State of Paradise!

van den Berg and fellow Florida author Kristen Arnett will be in conversation to discuss this heart-racing fun house of uncanniness hidden in Florida’s underbelly!
