From the wildly inventive author of the novels How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive and Golden Delicious comes a new novel unlike anything you have ever read.

"Boucher makes the world come alive by making language come alive." --George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Suddenly, everything becomes slippery; A man grows a wall inside himself; A bookstore owner meets a woman with an invisible dog; hearts take vacations and language is kept in zoos. Boucher's novel brings us more of the "strange brilliance" -- in the words of Emily St. John Mandel - that drew readers to his novels.
