LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE AND NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF FALL BY: The New York Times, Associated Press, Goodreads, NPR, Harper's Bazaar, Los Angeles Times, and more
A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man's last pilgrimage, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls and The Guest.
"Piercing and suspenseful."--The Wall Street Journal
"Bold . . . arresting . . . stylistically adventurous."--The Boston Globe
"Profoundly moving."--The Guardian
A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting.
A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable.
This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades.
His final destination is Zurich.
David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend's house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life.
As David's arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.
