Summary

Richard Novak, a middle-aged day trader in Los Angeles, lives a life of affluent isolation. Surrounded by a small army of hired help--a nutritionist, trainer, housekeeper, and masseuse--Novak has no need to venture beyond the confines of his pristine prison, until a mysterious illness and an expanding sinkhole in his backyard suddenly propel him into a topsy-turvy world of actual human beings. A. M. Homes has made a name for herself by delving into sensationalistic and taboo topics (pedophilia, fetishes, a family intentionally burning down its house), but here she offers up a surprisingly optimistic, even sentimental story of a man rescuing himself from the shallowness of his own existence.
