The Red Arrow - William Brewer

Descriere The Red Arrow - William Brewer

\nWhen 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 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. \nAmong the most accurate and insightful depictions of depression I've ever read. --Los Angeles Times \n \nBrewer's earnest description of psilocybin therapy turns a bravura comic novel into something deeper and stranger: an account of unexpected, hard-won joy. --Vogue \n \nIn an attempt rid himself of The Mist, the young writer undergoes an experimental, psychedelic treatment and finds his world completely transformed: Joy suffuses every moment. For the first time, he understands himself in a larger, universal context, and feels his life shift, refract, and crack open to reveal his past and future alike. \n \nMoving swiftly from a chemical spill in West Virginia to Silicon Valley, from a Brooklyn art studio to a high-speed train racing across the Italian countryside, The Red Arrow wades into the shadowy depths of the human psyche only to emerge, as if speeding through a mile-long tunnel, into a world that is so bright and wondrous, it almost feels completely new.\n
