Riassunto

Quirky and romantic, Stay Close, Little Ghost is an ecstatic debut novel flecked with fever dream fairy tales: a girl with no eyes scratching personal messages into the walls of the subway tunnel, a woman whose running mascara streaks over her body as she fades into a shadow on the wall, a missing child seen swimming across a lake bottom, a lost secret city where love is like tasting the real thing after tasting the fast food version for your entire life, a house whose painted landscape and sky walls erupt into a blizzard, magic glasses that translate languages and see inside people, a map of all the four-leaf clovers in the city, miraculous diamonds that hold the key to any question in the world, and a little wolf that lives inside the stomach of the narrator. Against this fantastic backdrop, a wonderfully flawed mathematician unravels as he collides with the most famous open problem in modern computer science. The result is a love story unlike anything else.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Oliver Serang was born in Philadelphia in 1984 and raised by very civilized wolves. He loves storms, swimming in deep water, and feeling the wind from the subway. Stay Close, Little Ghost is a woozy treatise on the nature of love and human imperfection that he wrote while finishing his Ph.D. in Genome Sciences at the University of Washington, working as a visiting scientist in Agronomy at the University of São Paulo, and starting his research fellowship in Neurobiology at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He currently lives in Germany.
