NATIONAL BEST SELLER
The Familiar Volume 1 Wherein the cat is found . . .
From the author of the international best seller House of Leaves and
National Book Award-nominated Only Revolutions comes a monumental new
novel as dazzling as it is riveting. The Familiar (Volume 1) ranges
from Mexico to Southeast Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice,
California, with nine lives hanging in the balance, each called upon to
make a terrifying choice. They include a therapist-in-training grappling
with daughters as demanding as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang
member contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on the
run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus a recovering
addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a desperate billionaire; and
a programmer near Silicon Beach whose game engine might unleash
consequences far exceeding the entertainment he intends. At the very
heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named Xanther who one rainy day
in May sets out with her father to get a dog, only to end up trying to
save a creature as fragile as it is dangerous . . . which will change
not only her life and the lives of those she has yet to encounter, but
this world, too--or at least the world we think we know and the future
we take for granted.
(With full-color illustrations throughout.)
