Book Description
In this complex and absorbing work, Joshua Enos explores the nature of story, ritual, truth, and time through the multiple realities of central characters Rebecca Metcalf (a successful or unsuccessful author), Jody Hanna (a logico-mathematical theorist or an undergraduate sound technician), and Loxlornica Howe (the daughter of Hanna and Metcalf, an adopted polymath child prodigy, or the victim of two unusual kidnappings). Through their experiences with the touchstones of love, freedom, memory, and death, they seek out the limits of what can ultimately be known about the world, about each other, and about themselves.
