Blue Ruin by Hari Kunzru
"Blue Ruin" follows Jay, a once-promising artist from London, now living undocumented in the United States. Struggling to make ends meet, he delivers groceries in a wealthy New York neighborhood during the height of the pandemic. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Alice, a former lover from art school, at a secluded house. Their past relationship was fraught with turmoil, and Alice had left him for his best friend, Rob, two decades ago. Now, as Jay grapples with his current reality, he is drawn into a complex web of past emotions and unresolved tensions. The story weaves through time, exploring themes of art, ambition, and the impact of choices made long ago.
