"The Novelist, which follows a young man over the course of a single morning as he fails to write an autobiographical novel about his heroin addiction and recovery, finding himself drawn into the infinite spaces of Twitter, quotidian rituals, and his own mind. The Novelist is influenced by and references Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine and Thomas Bernhard's Woodcutters, and in the end is a wholly original novel about language and consciousness, the Internet and social media, and addiction and recovery. It is a literary manifesto of optimism about deciding to live, even if the project of living includes a great deal of suffering."-- Provided by publisher |
