Michelle Latiolais is one of the best writers working today--one deserving of a much wider readership. Her novels are dense, challenging (in a great way), and immensely rewarding. Her sentences are like intricate gems, refracting in all sorts of interesting ways when you hold them to the light. Here's the opening sentence: "Stan engines into Luke's office, his legs pistoning, fanatical, fueled by something seemingly unstoppable and mechanical, and so frightening--and frightening anew each time, Luke must admit--because each time Luke is alarmed and he knows it registers in his eyes and body until the physician arrives on board and he remembers who he is in this equation called doctor and patient."

"Every passionate reader lives for that first page of a book that alerts her, straightaway, she'll be sorry when the book ends. So it is with Michelle Latiolais' astonishing, sparklingly intelligent new novel...The work strives, with bold zest, to arrive at the marrow of things...Latiolais triumphs, folding the work's clinical ruminations into the story's delicious batter. Powerfully recommended."--Antioch Review "The novel counts--in elegant and sometimes elegiac prose--the shadowy and elusive opportunities for redemption."--Ron Carlson, author ofFive Skies "A ravishing intelligence is at work in these pages."--Elizabeth Tallent, author ofHoney, onEven Now A gifted psychiatrist, haunted by the death of his young sister, seeks to penetrate the mysteries of childhood autism in this beautifully written, insightful investigation into the misunderstood pathways of the brain--and the heart.
