Reviews
Shortlisted for the Novel Prize "I fell in love with this funny, cranky, exacting, perpetually questioning voice, and related deeply to the artistic and philosophical dilemmas limned with such witty urgency in these pages. Emily Hall's powers of observation and illumination astonished me -- my own interior life was unexpectedly and disarmingly lit up." --Claire Dederer, Shortlisted for the Novel Prize "I remember how Knut Hamsun's Hunger scared & excited me when I was young & now, later on, Emily Hall's The Longcut has produced its own inimitable effect. I think of a mayor I read about who advocated digging a hole so big there's no alternative to filling it. Emily Hall's digging (for art) is bedraggled and ecstatic ("I was a lunatic for miles"). It makes its mark and I am helplessly subsumed in it still. Her Longcut is like an Artist's Way for bad kids." --Eileen Myles "The anxieties of the artist are vigorously analyzed to the point of near insanity in Emily Hall's schizophrenic debut. An artist walks through a city to an appointment, asking the simple and unanswerable question: what is my work? Hilarious and claustrophobic, angular and digressive, The Longcut questions the role of capitalism in creation, while proving it's nearly impossible to make art if one thinks about it too much." --Mark Haber "Bold and irreverent: like a DYMO machine gone nuts on a Mondrian print, The Longcut is a hilariously inventive take on what it means to be making "work" in the self-conscious world of art-making while also, at the very same time, trying get through the many material distractions of an office job. A striking debut!" --Jen Craig, Shortlisted for the Novel Prize "I remember how Knut Hamsun's Hunger scared & excited me when I was young & now, later on, Emily Hall's The Longcut has produced its own inimitable effect. I think of a mayor I read about who advocated digging a hole so big there's no alternative to filling it. Emily Hall's digging (for art) is bedraggled and ecstatic ("I was a lunatic for miles").

Synopsis
From Museum of Modern Art editor Emily Hall, a debut novel in the first person about the place of art and the artist in the world., The narrator of The Longcut is an artist who doesn't know what her art is. As she gets lost on her way to a meeting in an art gallery, walking around in circles in a city she knows perfectly well, she finds herself endlessly sidetracked and distracted by the question of what her work is and how she'll know it when she sees it. Her mental peregrinations take her through the elements that make up her life: her dull office job where she spends the day moving items into a "completed" column, insomniac nights in her so-called studio (also known as her tiny apartment), encounters with an enigmatic friend who may or may not know her better than she knows herself. But wherever she looks she finds only more questions--what is the difference between the world and the photographed world, why do objects wither in different contexts, what is Cambridge blue--that lead her further away from the one thing that really matters. An extraordinary feat of syntactical dexterity and comic ingenuity, The Longcut is ultimately a story of resistance to easy answers and the place of art and the artist in the world.
