As her husband scrambles to figure out what happened to her, Elyria hurtles into the unknown, testing fate by hitchhiking, tacitly being swept into the lives of strangers, and sleeping in fields, forests, and public parks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer risky and often surreal encounters with the people and wildlife of New Zealand propel Elyria deeper into her deteriorating mind. Haunted by her sister's death and consumed by an inner violence, her growing rage remains so expertly concealed that those who meet her sense nothing unwell. This discord between her inner and outer reality leads her to another obsession: If her truest self is invisible and unknowable to others, is she even alive? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe risks Elyria takes on her journey are paralleled by the risks Catherine Lacey takes on the page. In urgent, spiraling prose she whittles away at the rage within Elyria and exposes the very real, very knowable anxiety of the human condition. And yet somehow Lacey manages to poke fun at her unrelenting self-consciousness, her high-stakes search for the dark heart of the self.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Lacey\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eNobody Is Ever Missing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Answers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePew\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eCertain American States\u003c\/i\u003e.
