Featured Work
Entanglement-Quantum and Otherwise
They look like the perfect family. But every family has its secrets. Can we ever know the people we love? Imagine flipping through old family albums. The faces are familiar; their true stories lost to time—half-forgotten family anecdotes woven together by generations of proud aunts and kindly grandmothers conceal more than they reveal. Entanglement explores the blank spaces in our family trees. The lives of eight souls intertwine in a sprawling family history. The family story is a legacy of addiction, kidnapping, crime, and murders unresolved and unforgiven. Enjoy this epic achievement in the experimental tradition of David Mitchell and Ian McEwan, with the darkly exotic undertones of books like Mexican Gothic and The Cutting Season and the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
