Description
A gripping novel about a man who is losing his past to Alzheimer’s. Like Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead, The Wilderness holds us in its grip from the first sentence to the last with the sheer beauty of its language and its ruminations on love and loss.
“Closer to Virginia Woolf’s meditative novels than anything else I can think of…. This is…Mrs. Dalloway prose.” —The Washington Post Book WorldJake is in the tailspin of old age. His wife has passed away, his son is in prison, and now Alzheimer’s is taking hold of him. Jake’s memories become increasingly unreliable. What happened to his daughter? Is she alive, or long dead? Why is his son imprisoned? And why can’t he shake the memory of a yellow dress and one lonely, echoing gunshot? “[A] brave imagining of [Alzheimer’s]…. There are moments of clarity; there is the persistence of desire; there are enduring long-term memories that remain after there is no capacity to recall what was for breakfast or if there was breakfast or what the thing called breakfast is.” —The New York Times
