Coming Soon: Bad Americans: Part I by Tejas Desai
We’re excited to be bringing a bold and thought-provoking Bookstagram campaign to Love Books Tours very soon, featuring Bad Americans: Part I by Tejas Desai.
Blending literary fiction, short stories, and satire, this ambitious work captures a moment in time many of us lived through — the summer of 2020 — and explores it through powerful storytelling, sharp social observation, and a daring narrative structure. This is a campaign for readers who enjoy books that challenge, provoke, and spark conversation.

📖 Blurb
Summer 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic rages, a reclusive billionaire summons twelve lonely and very different Americans to his mansion complex in the Hamptons.
By day, the guests meet, compete, date, dine, flirt, and clash. By night, one of them must tell a story.
Their tales vary wildly in style, subject, and tone. They respond to one another, ignite debate, and shift relationships — reshaping not only how the characters see each other, but how they understand storytelling itself.
Bad Americans is part Boccaccio, part The Bachelor, and entirely its own creation. Both a novel and a short-story collection, it offers a striking portrait of the American pandemic experience and forms part of the wider anthology series The Human Tragedy. Bad Americans: Part I includes the frame narrative and the first six stories, with Part II to follow.
