The characters in Simon Van Booy's The Illusion of Separateness
discover at their darkest moments of fear and isolation that they
are not alone, that they were never alone, that every human being
is a link in a chain we cannot see. This gripping novel--inspired
by true events--tells the interwoven stories of a deformed German
infantryman; a lonely British film director; a young, blind museum
curator; two Jewish American newlyweds separated by war; and a
caretaker at a retirement home for actors in Santa Monica. They
move through the same world but fail to perceive their connections
until, through seemingly random acts of selflessness, a veil is
lifted to reveal the vital parts they have played in one another's
lives, and the illusion of their separateness.
