Late Light




The latest novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer exploring brotherhood, grief, AI, and the bonds that tie us to one another and to the universe in which we live.

When his older siblings, Ritchie and ‘Mouse,’ leave the dysfunctional family home, younger brother Charlie is left behind. His only means of escape are his ‘episodes’: moments in which he seems to step outside of reality and become connected to the universe itself.

Decades later, older brother Ritchie is reckoning with a tragedy whose consequences reach far beyond a single life when he receives heartbreaking news from Charlie’s home in the Great Smoky Mountains. Surrounded by the beauty of the ancient forests, Ritchie is forced to reckon once and for all with the intertwined lives of those he has loved.

Exploring brotherhood, grief, and the bonds that tie us to one another, Late Light is a heartbreaking, joyous song to the universe from one of the great storytellers of our time.
