Dated & Inscribed to bookseller at NEIBA book show where, curiously, Brock didn't sign his name (distracted?) just scrawled a line. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "For young Miller Le Ray, life has become a search. A search for his dad, who may or may not have joined the army and gone to Iraq. A search for a semifamous but notoriously obnoxious (and, unfortunately, deceased) writer, Frederick Exley, author of the 'fictional memoir' A Fan's Notes, who may hold the key to bringing Miller's father back. But most of all, his is a search for truth. [] For Miller's therapist, Dr. Pahnee, this young patient is an increasing conundrum, a dedicated truth-teller who hasn't a clue as to the difference between fact and fiction. Hired by Miller's very concerned--and extremely attractive--mother, Dr. Pahnee soon finds himself becoming undone, in part by his effort to understand what has really happened to the Le Ray family and in part by his increasing feelings of affection for this woman, who may or may not be a widow. Told in the alternating voices of Miller and Dr. Pahnee, both unreliable narrators, [Exley] becomes an exploration of the differences between what we believe to be real and what is in fact real."

He imagines characters so careful in their reasoning that they are deeply, maddeningly unreasonable but also tenderly hapless at the same time. Mr. Clarke is able to make their isolation both heart-rending and comically absurd."--New York Times. "Remarkable. In the hands of a less talented writer, the novel's layers, twists and identity puzzles could strain the belief of even the most credulous reader; but Clarke's narrative assurance and unfailingly realistic characters allow him to pull off the literary equivalent of a half-court shot. This would have been a hard novel to write even adequately, but Clarke's performance here is extraordinary; it's far and away the best work of his career."--Michael Schaub, NPR. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding; in search of the author's signature. Inscribed by Author(s).…
