"In 1981, John Hinckley, Jr.'s attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan rocked the nation. And Andrea Kleine's gripping novel, Calf , will rock readers. This is a wonderfully unsettling book about love, loss, and unlikely connections." - Elliott Holt, author of You Are One of Them, "Dread stalks every page, and the result is unsettling, scary, and often brilliant.

After admiring the cool jacket art, you get to roll around in its dueling narrative....How can you take a moment like the assassination of a President and fictionalize it to the point where it becomes its own fever dream? That is the magic here, and it is really impressive to read."-- Three Guys One Book "Dread stalks every page, and the result is unsettling, scary, and often brilliant.
