This brilliant new novel by an American master, the author
of Ragtime, The Book of Daniel, Billy Bathgate,
and The March, takes us on a radical trip into
the mind of a man who, more than once in his life, has been
the inadvertent agent of disaster.
Speaking
from an unknown place and to an unknown interlocutor, Andrew
is thinking, Andrew is talking, Andrew is telling the story
of his life, his loves, and the tragedies that have led him
to this place and point in time. And as he confesses,
peeling back the layers of his strange story, we are led to
question what we know about truth and memory, brain and
mind, personality and fate, about one another and ourselves.
Written with psychological depth and great lyrical
precision, this suspenseful and groundbreaking novel
delivers a voice for our times—funny, probing, skeptical,
mischievous, profound. Andrew’s Brain is a surprising
turn and a singular achievement in the canon of a writer
whose prose has the power to create its own landscape, and
whose great topic, in the words of Don DeLillo, is “the
reach of American possibility, in which plain lives take on
the cadences of history.”
