“A masterpiece of misdirection.” —Geraldine Brooks “Mobility is a truly gripping coming-of-age story about navigating a world of corporate greed that’s both laugh-out-loud funny and politically incisive.” —Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor Bunny Glenn believes in climate change. But she also likes to get paid. The year is 1998. The Soviet Union is dissolved, the Cold War is over, and Bunny Glenn is a lonely American teenager in Azerbaijan with her Foreign Service family. Through Bunny’s bemused eyes, we watch global interests flock to her temporary backyard for Caspian oil and pipeline access, hearing rumbles of the expansion of the American security state and the buildup to the War on Terror. We follow Bunny from adolescence to middle age—from Baku to Athens to Houston—as her own ambition and desire for comfort lead her to a career in the oil industry, eventually returning to the scene of her youth, where slippery figures from the past reappear in an era of political and climate breakdown. Propulsive and thought-provoking, empathetic yet pointed, Mobility is a story about class, power, politics, and desire told through the life of one woman—her social milieu, her romances, her unarticulated wants. Through Bunny’s life choices, Lydia Kiesling masterfully explores American forms of complicity and inertia, moving between the local and the global, the personal and the political, and using fiction’s singular power to illuminate a life shaped by its context.Sneak Peek: Mobility, a novel by Lydia KieslingGas Chromatography-(Cyclic) Ion Mobility Mass SpectrometryMobility | Lydia Kiesling | 9781638930563Mobility in the Victorian Novel: Placing the Nation - Google Books ResultMobility: A Novel - Audiobook - Lydia KieslingUpward Mobility and the Common GoodMobility in the English Novel from Defoe to AustenExclusive cover reveal: See the cover for Lydia Kiesling'sMobility: A Novel bookThe New Mobility Handbook: Rethinking How We GetDownward Mobility: The Form of Capital andCorey Fah Does Social MobilityMobility in the Victorian Novel: Placing the Nation
