Suspense
Spanning 1940s to 2020s America, a Pynchon-esque saga about
rock music, art, politics, and the elusive nature of love Meet everyman Moses Teumer, whose recent diagnosis of an
aggressive form of leukemia has sent him in search of a
donor. When he discovers that the woman who raised him is
not his biological mother, he must hunt down his birth
parents and unspool the intertwined destinies of the Teumer
and Savant families. Salome Savant, Moses’s birth mother, is an avant-garde
artist who has spent her life in and out of a mental health
facility. Her son and Moses’s half-brother, Alchemy Savant,
the mercurial front man of the world-renowned rock band The
Insatiables, abandons music to launch a political campaign
to revolutionize 2020s America. And then there’s Ambitious
Mindswallow, aka Ricky McFinn, who journeys from juvenile
delinquency in Queens to being The Insatiables’ bassist and
Alchemy’s Sancho Panza. Bauman skillfully weaves the threads
that intertwine these characters and the histories that
divide them, creating a postmodern vision of America that is
at once sweeping, irreverent, and heartbreaking.
