A brief, unnerving, and exceptionally hard-hitting novel about time
and loss as only the bestselling and National Book Award-winning
author of White Noise and Underworld can tell it.In this potent and
beautiful novel, the writer The New York Times calls "prophetic
about twenty-first-century America" looks into the mind and heart
of a scholar who was recruited to help the military conceptualize
the war. We see Richard Elster at the end of his service. He has
retreated to the desert, in search of space and geologic time.
There he is joined by a filmmaker and by Elster's daughter
Jessica--an "otherworldly" woman from New York. The three of them
build an odd, tender intimacy, something like a family. Then a
devastating event turns detachment into colossal grief, and it is a
human mystery that haunts the landscape of desert and mind.
