Description

Insightful and often hilarious . . . a dazzling head-trip of a novel - Nathan Hill, author of The Nix

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 AI designer - and is haunted by an overwhelming sense of dread he describes as 'The Mist'.

Then, things get worse.

The physicist vanishes, leaving everything in limbo, including our narrator's sanity.

Exquisite . . . Brewer's evocation of the Mist is among the most accurate and insightful depictions of depression I've ever read - Los Angeles Times
