“Sometimes a book just takes you by the hand and swings you deliriously in a new dance – that is The Stager, Susan Coll’s brilliant comic novel. Peopled by rabbits and woefully wise little girls, by adulterers and other unfortunate adults, this is a world sharp with secrets, grudges, mania, odors and profound sweetness. I loved it.” - Cathleen Schine, author of Fin & Lady and The Three Weissmanns of Westport

“What a delight to follow Susan Coll on her tour of one family’s surreal unraveling. Sly and wise, Coll is a stager extraordinaire, allowing us to peer behind the curtain of suburban success and excess. I loved this novel’s wild wit. Now I want to adopt the Jorgenson family’s precocious kid—and their stoned rabbit.” - Lisa Zeidner, author of Love Bomb

"Dark, luminous, and hilarious, The Stager draws its radiant power from the great time-tested themes: love, betrayal, and the redemptive power of rabbits. At the height of her powers, Susan Coll reveals her mastery of the wry and the delicious line, of the bizarre and tender moment---and of hope.” - Dylan Landis, author of Normal People Don’t Live Like This
