Talk of the Stacks: Charles Baxter - The Soul Thief February 28, 2008

In his new novel, The Soul Thief, Baxter delivers a beautifully wrought and unexpected work of fiction about Nathaniel Mason, a graduate student living in Buffalo, who through a chain of illusive relationships and complex events learns his identity may in fact not be his own. Acutely observed in its emotional and terrifying detail, The Soul Thief explores the slippery nature of identity in American culture.
