Fiction Family Life
A haunting, enigmatic novel about a woman who is given a
second chance—and isn’t sure whether she really wants it Elisa Brown is driving back from her annual, somber visit to
her son Silas’s grave when something changes. Actually,
everything changes: her body is more voluptuous; she’s
wearing different clothes and driving a new car. When she
arrives home, her life is familiar—but different. There is
her house, her husband. But in the world she now inhabits,
Silas is no longer dead, and his brother is disturbingly
changed. Elisa has a new job, and her marriage seems
sturdier, and stranger, than she remembers. She finds
herself faking her way through a life she is convinced is
not her own. Has she had a psychotic break? Or has she
entered a parallel universe? Elisa believed that Silas was
doomed from the start, but now that he is alive, what can
she do to repair her strained relations with her children?
She soon discovers that these questions hinge on being able
to see herself as she really is—something that might be
impossible for Elisa, or for anyone. In Familiar, J.
Robert Lennon continues his profound and exhilarating
exploration of the surreal undercurrents of contemporary
American life.
