Description
These ten stories take us across the country–from rural Pennsylvania to Southern California to suburban Connecticut–and deep into characters struggling to find meaning in their day-to-day lives. The Theory of Light and Matter is a stunningly astute vision of contemporary American suburbia, full of tension, heartbreak, and emotional complexity–the work of an important new voice.
