Anotace
NATIONAL BEST SELLER From the author of the international best
seller "House of Leaves" and National Book Award nominated "Only
Revolutions" comes a monumental new novel as dazzling as it is
riveting. "The Familiar (Volume 1) "ranges from Mexico to Southeast
Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice, California, with nine lives
hanging in the balance, each called upon to make a terrifying
choice. They include a therapist-in-training grappling with
daughters as demanding as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang
member contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on
the run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus a
recovering addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a desperate
billionaire; and a programmer near Silicon Beach whose game engine
might unleash consequences far exceeding the entertainment he
intends. At the very heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named
Xanther who one rainy day in May sets out with her father to get a
dog, only to end up trying to save a creature as fragile as it is
dangerous . . . which will change not only her life and the lives
of those she has yet to encounter, but this world, too or at least
the world we think we know and the future we take for granted.
(With full-color illustrations throughout.)"
