Clik here to view.E.L. Doctorow has contributed greatly to the American literary canon, specifically his turn-of-the-century New York epic Ragtime, featuring fictionalized versions of some of the most beloved characters of Americana, like Harry Houdini, Henry Ford, and J.P. Morgan. Now, he returns with a decidedly different, but no less brilliant novel: Andrew’s Brain.
Doctorow takes us on a startling and captivating journey inside the mind of a man with a curious and tragic history. Andrew tells us the story of the curious and groundbreaking events that have formed the basis of his life until today – but as we quickly learn, the mind can be an unreliable narrator. As we discover more about Andrew’s strange, idiosyncratic past, we begin to understand the complexities of memory, personality, and how we cope with searching for truth in our lives.
