A Summer/Fall 2018 Indies Introduce Debut Fiction Selection When
Samuel Johnson dies, he finds himself in the body of the man who
killed him, unable to depart this world but determined, at least,
to return to the son he left behind. Moving from body to body as
each one expires, Samuel's soul journeys on a comic quest through
an American half-century, inhabiting lives as stymied, in their
ways, as his own. A ghost story of the most unexpected sort, Martin
Riker's extraordinary debut is about the ways experience is
mediated, the unstoppable drive for human connection, and the
struggle to be more fully alive in the world. Martin Riker grew up
in central Pennsylvania. He worked as a musician for most of his
twenties, in nonprofit literary publishing for most of his
thirties, and has spent the first half of his forties teaching in
the English department at Washington University in St. Louis. In
2010, he and his wife Danielle Dutton co-founded the feminist press
Dorothy, a Publishing Project. His fiction and criticism have
appeared in publications including the Wall Street Journal, the New
York Times, London Review of Books, the Baffler, and Conjunctions.
This is his first novel.
