The prolific T.C. Boyle’s new novel is a cross-country thriller, as a deaf teacher and her devoted but none-too-reliable boyfriend chuck all their responsibilities and head out toward Marin to find the man who stole her identity. Of course, this is not just a simple novel about vengeance, but a deep and subtle investigation of love and language, a story about how we know – and how we tell others – who we are. Boyle’s stories have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, The Atlantic Monthly, Playboy, The Paris Review, GQ, Antaeus, Granta and McSweeney's, and he has been the recipient of a number of literary awards.
