About
A brilliant, utterly contemporary debut novel about a ghostwriter in search of his subject, a famous physicist, who has vanished, only to discover their lives align perfectly within the riddles of time and space.
When a once-promising young writer agrees to ghostwrite a famous physicist's memoir, his livelihood is already in jeopardy: plagued by debt, he's grown distant from his wife, a successful A.I. designer-and is haunted by an overwhelming dread he describes as "The Mist." Then, things get worse: the physicist disappears, leaving everything in limbo, including our narrator's sanity.
Desperate for relief, he undergoes an experimental, psychedelic treatment and emerges to find his world transformed, joy suffuses every moment. His opportunities are endless. For the first time, he understands himself in a larger, universal context and feels he might finally know how to reclaim his past and future alike.
Moving swiftly across time and geography-from a chemical spill in West Virginia, to psychedelic therapy in California, to a frecciarossa racing across the Italian countryside, The Red Arrow is a spiraling, spellbinding, and often comedic journey through art, memory, and the contradicting layers that compose the self.
