| 520 | |a "From the "brilliantly complex" (Jenny Offill) author of The Shame comes an electrifying dive into one man's fractured psyche as he searches for a new life. Taking place over the course of one day, Helen of Nowhere introduces an intimate cast: an unnamed man at the end of both his career and marriage, a young realtor showing him an idyllic house in the countryside, and Helen, the mystifying former owner whose spectral presence seems to imbue the house's every grain of wood. Through stories of the remarkable woman, the man is presented with an alternate way of life. But, as evening fades into black, the specifics of how to live it become more than what he bargained for. Philosophically adventurous, strange, and fascinating, Helen of Nowhere examines the structures that form our identity, staring the reader down to ask the haunting question: what is the cost of true happiness?"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
