With "a voice as clear, sincere, and wry as any I've read in
current American fiction" (Joshua Cohen), Martin Riker's poignant
and startlingly original novel asks how to foster a brave mind in
anxious times, following a newly jobless academic rehearsing a
speech on John Maynard Keynes for a surprising audienceIn a hotel
room in the middle of the night, Abby, a young feminist economist,
lies awake next to her sleeping husband and daughter. Anxious that
she is grossly underprepared for a talk she is presenting tomorrow
on optimism and John Maynard Keynes, she has resolved to practice
by using an ancient rhetorical method of assigning parts of her
speech to different rooms in her house and has brought along a
comforting albeit imaginary companion to keep her on track--Keynes
himself.Yet as she wanders with increasing alarm through the rooms
of her own consciousness, Abby finds herself straying from her
prepared remarks on economic history, utopia, and Keynes's
pragmatic optimism. A lapsed optimist herself, she has been
struggling under the burden of supporting a family in an
increasingly hostile America after being denied tenure at the
university where she teaches. Confronting her own future at a time
of global darkness, Abby undertakes a quest through her memories to
ideas hidden in the corners of her mind--a piecemeal intellectual
history from Cicero to Lewis Carroll to Queen Latifah--as she asks
what a better world would look like if we told our stories with
more honest and more hopeful imaginations.With warm intellect,
playful curiosity, and an infectious voice, Martin Riker acutely
animates the novel of ideas with a beating heart and turns one
woman's midnight crisis into the performance of a lifetime.

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.
