| This is a brilliant, fantastically entertaining and stimulating novel that manages to be at once a deep dive into the psyches of Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others, and an incredibly relevant and energetic discussion ...more | |
“He thought of Heraclitus: a man cannot step in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.”

“You Only Live Once. That's what people said, as if life really mattered because it happened only one time. But what if it was the other way around? What if what you did mattered MORE because life happened again and again, consequences unfolding across centuries and contents? What if you had chances upon chances to love the people you loved, to fix what you screwed up, to get it right?”

“Denise would never get over it. She knew that. Tommy's bones at the bottom of the well. She and Henry had spent some time with those bones. When the police had finished testing and tagging and photohgraphing them the funeral parlor had given them time before the burial. She'd clutched them to her chest. Run her fingertips along the smooth sockets that had held his shining eyes. There but not there.
Some part of her wanted those bones. Wanted to put the femurs under her pillow at night when she went to sleep. To carry his skull around in her purse so she'd be with him always.
She understood now how people went crazy and did crazy things.”
