"When a once-promising young writer agrees to ghostwrite a famous physicist's memoir, his livelihood is already in jeopardy: plagued by debt, he's grown distant from his wife -- a successful A.I. designer -- and is haunted by an overwhelming dread he describes as 'The Mist.' Then, things get worse: the physicist disappears, leaving everything in limbo, including our narrator's sanity. Desperate for relief, he undergoes an experimental, psychedelic treatment and emerges to find his world transformed: joy suffuses every moment. His opportunities are endless. For the first time, he understands himself in a larger, universal context and feels he might finally know how to reclaim his past and future alike. Moving swiftly across time and geography -- from a chemical spill in West Virginia, to psychedelic therapy in California, to a frecciarossa racing across the Italian countryside -- The Red Arrow is a spiraling, spellbinding, and often comedic journey through art, memory, and the contradicting layers that compose the self."--Publisher.
