From the author of the international best seller House of
Leaves and National Book Award–nominated Only
Revolutions comes a monumental new novel as dazzling as
it is riveting. The Familiar (Volume 1) ranges from Mexico to
Southeast Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice, California,
with nine lives hanging in the balance, each called upon to
make a terrifying choice. They include a
therapist-in-training grappling with daughters as demanding
as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang member
contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on
the run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus
a recovering addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a
desperate billionaire; and a programmer near Silicon Beach
whose game engine might unleash consequences far exceeding
the entertainment he intends. At the very heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named
Xanther who one rainy day in May sets out with her father to
get a dog, only to end up trying to save a creature as
fragile as it is dangerous . . . which will change not only
her life and the lives of those she has yet to encounter,
but this world, too—or at least the world we think we know
and the future we take for granted.
