"Winner of the Paris Review Discovery Prize for best first fiction and anthologized in The Best American Short Stories 2002, Karl Iagnemma has been recognized as a writer of rare talent. His literary terrain is the world of science, with its charged boundary between the rational mind and the restless heart. [] In Iagnemma's stories, mathematicians and theoreticians, foresters and doctors, yearn to create bonds as steadfast as the equations and principles that anchor their lives. A frustrated academic tries to diagram his troubled relationship with his girlfriend but fails to create a formula for romance. A nineteenth-century phrenologist must reexamine the connection between knowledge and passion when a young con-woman beats him at his own game. A jaded professor dreams endlessly of his two obsessions: a beautiful former colleague and the theorem that made her famous. [] Inventive, wise, funny, and disquieting, Karl Iagnemma s first collection attests to his spirited imagination and his prodigious literary gifts." [jacket copy] "Iagnemma, a research scientist at MIT, is a rising star among short story writers, having won both a Pushcart Prize and a coveted spot in last year's Best American Short Stories. His debut collection explores the places where faith, love, and science all intersect. In 'Zilkowski's Theorem,' a mathematician deliberates revealing a secret that could boost his career at the expense of the reputation of the woman he loves. In the moving story 'The Ore Miner's Wife,' a naive Christian bride, fearing a moral lapse on the part of her husband, destroys papers that contain his potentially important geometrical theories. And in 'Kingdom, Order, Species,' a female forester resorts to breaking and entering in order to meet the reclusive author of an introductory textbook on botany; she hopes the encounter may offer answers to why her love life and career never seem to blossom. These intelligent, quirky, and suspenseful stories offer proof of Iagnemma's stunning talent."--Booklist. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket.
