While he is being groomed for a Nobel Prize, a rival theory emerges and in the tense months, leading up to the Nobel announcement his personal life falls apart, when old relationships remerge and someone who knows him very well starts sending him anonymous letters that stir up painful memories.
A scathing, clever and very well-written contemporary novel from an exciting new writer.
