Joseph Guiteau is a working actor who moved to New York to escape a
tragic family history in the Midwest. Wandering through a city
transformed by the attacks of September 2001, he frequents
gatherings of conspiracy groups, trying to make sense of world
events and his own personal history. Looming over his life is a
secret that threatens to undermine his new marriage to Del, a snake
expert at a city park, whose work visa is the only thread keeping
her from deportation back to her native Greece. The new marriage
influences the lives of those around them: William, a dark and
troubled actor whose sanity is fading as quickly as his career,
leading him to perform increasingly desperate acts; Madi, a young
entrepreneur who will have to face the moral complications of a
business made successful by the outsourcing of American jobs to
India; and her brother Raj, Del s former lover, a promising
photographer whose work details the empty rooms of an increasingly
alienated city. Christopher Bollen s first novel captures the
atmosphere of anxiety and loss that exists in Manhattan."
