David Duchovny’s standalone novels showcase his literary ambitions across a range of subjects and tones. Holy Cow (2015), his debut, is a comic fable narrated by a dairy cow who teams up with a pig and a turkey to escape their fates. Bucky F*cking Dent (2016) shifts to a more grounded story about a father and son bonding over the 1978 Red Sox season.
Miss Subways (2018) draws on Irish mythology set against the backdrop of modern New York City, while Truly Like Lightning (2021) follows a former Hollywood stuntman raising his family off the grid in the Utah desert. Each novel reflects Duchovny’s Yale-trained literary sensibility and willingness to take on wildly different subjects.
