From the author of the international best-seller Silk comes a ravishing and wildly inventive novel that suggests both The 1001 Nights and the masterpieces of Italo Calvino.Somewhere in America lives Gould, a lonely boy-genius groomed for the Nobel Prize, his only friends an imaginary giant and an imaginary mute. Improbably, he becomes the charge of a young woman named Shatzy Shell, whose life has been equally lacking in human connection. They also have in common their heretofore private stories. With these stories, Gould and Shatzy forge a relationship that is at once hilarious, tragic, and deeply redemptive.
