Fiction
Eric Muller has been trying to hack the girlfriend problem
for half his life. As a teenage geek, he discovered his gift
for programming computers-but his attempts to understand
women only confirm that he's better at writing code than
connecting with human beings. Brilliant, neurotic, and
lonely, Eric spends high school in the solitary glow of a
screen.
By his early twenties, Eric's talent has made
him a Silicon Valley millionaire. He can coax girls into bed
with ironic remarks and carefully timed intimacies, but
hiding behind wit and empathy gets lonely, and he fears that
love will always be out of reach.
So when Eric falls
for the beautiful, fiercely opinionated Maya Marcom, and she
miraculously falls for him too, he's in new territory. But
the more he learns about his perfect girlfriend's unresolved
past, the further Eric's obsessive mind spirals into
confusion and doubt. Can he reconcile his need for order and
logic with the mystery and chaos of love?
This
brilliant debut ushers Eric Muller-flawed, funny,
irresistibly endearing-into the pantheon of unlikely heroes.
With an unblinking eye for the absurdities and horrors of
contemporary life, Gabriel Roth gives us a hilarious and
heartbreaking meditation on self consciousness, memory, and
love.
