A fascinating, complex, and multi-faceted man, Oppenheimer was a
devotee of liberal causes, as well as the father of the atom bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He loyally protected his
Communist friends only to later betray them; he repeatedly lied
about love affairs and struggled to explain his actions; he
defended the use of the atomic bomb he helped create, then lobbied
against nuclear proliferation. Hall's brilliant and fresh new novel
explores the overlap between science and literature, the
connections between fiction and biography, and the different ways
in which we know other people. Ultimately it begs the question: how
can we ever really know another person?
