Description
Double Blind by Edward St. Aubyn is a major new novel that explores some of the biggest ideas and most pressing questions of our times. Set against the backdrop of three interconnected lives, this ambitious novel delves into themes of ecology, psychoanalysis, genetics, and neuroscience, as well as love, fear, and courage. As Olivia's life expands with the arrival of a new lover, Francis, her connection to him is immediate and startling. But Lucy, her dearest friend, has news that binds the trio unusually close, drawing in others from their lives, including Hunter, Olivia's psychoanalyst parents, and a young man named Sebastian. Over the months that follow, none of them will emerge unchanged. This novel investigates the interconnections between inheritance, determinism, freedom, consciousness, and the stories we tell about ourselves, offering an expansive, playful, and compassionate exploration of the human experience.
