With its timely evocation of the Great Depression—an era that foreshadows our own, in often uncomfortable ways—and its treatment of such themes as family tensions and obligations; morality during times of struggle; storytelling and mythmaking; crime and punishment; and identity, The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers will give book clubs plenty to talk and debate about. And it's the perfect excuse to wear fedoras or flapper gowns and drink bathtub gin!

Buy the Book:"The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers is a rollicking and smart novel—mythic, mysterious and utterly compelling. Thomas Mullen shows us ourselves in his speculative historical fiction, and for readers who love great stories told beautifully, his books can't come fast enough."
—Jess Walter, author of The Financial Lives of the Poets, The Zero, and Citizen Vince
"The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers is an ambitious and big-hearted book, as lively and full of surprises as the Brothers themselves. The Depression-era world that Mullen conjures in its pages is satisfyingly real—and startlingly reminiscent of the America we inhabit today."
—Jon Clinch, author of Finn
