"Milo Andret, the genius who solved the Malosz Conjecture and won the Fields Medal for mathematics, had an unusual, even eerie mind from birth, but not until he moves to Berkeley in the 1970s to pursue a ph.D. does he realize the extent of his singular talents. From the drug-soaked enclaves of beatnik California to the verdant lawns of Princeton University, from turbo-charged Wall Street to the quiet woods of Michigan, his reputation as one of the century's most brilliant thinkers forms the backbone of a sweeping, epic story about family, love, passion, and Milo's fraught relationship with his son. With magnificent prose and enormous storytelling magic, Ethan Canin gives us a suspenseful, original novel about the nature of genius, and a son's quest to understand the mystery of his father's life, and its legacy in his own"-- Provided by publisher.

A full story for ethan canin lovers submitted by rincess on August 9, 2022, 11:38am I love ethan canin with all my heart-- this story was tough and i wished Milo would come out of his office and engage more with his children more than his mathematics but i got wrapped up completely in the novel as i do with all ethan canin works-- would recommend perhaps reading his work in order if you're up for it!
