"A beautiful and meditative exploration of shattered faith. Daniel Hornsby follows a damaged priest's journey through the American heartland after a disturbing discovery shakes his belief in the church to which he has devoted his life. A quietly devastating book from an exciting new voice." --Brit Bennett, author of The Mothers "What a terrific setup: a retired priest with more than enough on his mind--and heart--heads out on the road with a hurt coyote in the back seat. I was drawn in right away by the layered tones of this new voice, which was at once ruminative, and earnest, and sly. And by Hornsby's courage in taking on an iconic American genre. The novel reminded me again that the only true way home is by the longest and most wayward route." --Peter Heller, author of The River "Daniel Hornsby's Via Negativa is a novel of daring possibilities. As brief as it is, its scope is as large as an epic as it tackles questions of theology, spirituality, and modernity, amongst others, in prose shot through with humor and grace. It is an assured novel waiting patiently to be noticed." --Chigozie Obioma, author of The Fishermen and An Orchestra of Minorities "In Via Negativa , a retired priest living 'on the edge of the outside' drives across the country with an injured coyote in the backseat, reckoning with his demons and the question of what we owe to other people. This quietly wise and graceful novel knows so much about what we don't know, about visions and signs and everyday tragedy, 'the cloud of unknowing.' A book to savor in lonely times." --Elisa Gabbert, author of The Unreality of Memory " Via Negativa is my favorite kind of very sad book: the hilarious kind. Father Dan's odyssey may involve a coyote, a pistol, and a dark secret, but it's also an amiable picaresque, rendered in prose as deft and comical as anyone's I've read. 2020 may have taken Charles Portis from us, but it's given us Daniel Hornsby and this brilliant, wildly entertaining debut." --J. Robert Lennon, author of Broken River "I loved this book. In a remarkable feat of storytelling, Daniel Hornsby fuses the great American road novel with a harrowing dissection of contemporary Catholicism, and, improbably, makes it all ridiculously fun. There's not a mannered or self-conscious sentence in this ingenious account of the current, weird America; it's generous, honest, and consistently surprising. It's a fantastic piece of work." --Andrew Martin, author of Early Work " Via Negativa brilliantly and profoundly reimagines the great American road trip as picaresque pilgrimage. And what company to travel in! In his heart and humor, Father Dan puts me in mind of one of Nicholson Baker's gently erudite narrators, passing both mournful and wonderstruck through this world." --Peter Ho Davies, author of The Fortunes, "A beautiful and meditative exploration of shattered faith. In this promising debut, Daniel Hornsby follows a damaged priest's journey through the American heartland after a disturbing discovery shakes his belief in the church to which he has devoted his life. A quietly devastating book from an exciting new voice." --Brit Bennett, author of The Mothers "Daniel Hornsby's Via Negativa is a novel of daring possibilities.

Synopsis
A heartfelt, daring, divinely hilarious debut novel about a priest who embarks on a fateful journey with a pistol in his pocket and an injured coyote in his backseat. "A beautiful and meditative exploration of shattered faith." --Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half Father Dan is homeless. Dismissed by his conservative diocese for eccentricity and insubordination, he's made his exile into a kind of pilgrimage, transforming his Toyota Camry into a mobile monk's cell. Like the ascetic religious philosophers he idolizes, he intends to spend his trip in peaceful contemplation. But then he sees a minivan sideswipe a coyote. Unable to suppress his Franciscan impulses, he takes the wild animal in, wrapping its broken leg with an old T-shirt and feeding it Spam with a plastic spoon. With his unexpected canine companion in the backseat, Dan makes his way west, encountering other offbeat travelers and stopping to take in the occasional roadside novelty (MARTIN'S HOLE TO HELL, WORLD-FAMOUS BOTTOMLESS PIT NEXT EXIT!). But the coyote is far from the only oddity fate has delivered into this churchless priest's care: it has also given him a bone-handled pistol, a box of bullets, and a letter from his estranged friend Paul--a summons of sorts, pulling him forward. By the time Dan gets to where he's going, he'll be forced to reckon once and for all with the great mistakes of his past, and he will have to decide: is penance better paid with revenge, or with redemption? "Hornsby's ruminative and God-haunted road trip novel is a hidden gem from this dementedly off-kilter year." --John Francisconi, Buzzfeed, A heartfelt, daring, divinely hilarious debut novel about a priest who embarks on a fateful journey with a pistol in his pocket and an injured coyote in his backseat.
