Sam Byers
A debut novel of love, narcissism, and ailing cattle
Idiopathy (?d???p??i): a disease or condition which arises spontaneously or for which the cause is unknown.
Idiopathy is a novel that is as unexpected as its title, in which Katherine, Daniel, and Nathan?three characters you won?t forget in a hurry?unsuccessfully try to figure out how they feel about one another and how they might best live their lives in a world gone mad. Featuring a mysterious cattle epidemic, a humiliating stint in rehab, an unwanted pregnancy, a mom?turned?media personality (?Mother Courage?), and a workplace with a bio-dome housing a perfectly engineered cornfield, it is at once a scathing satire and a moving meditation on love and loneliness. With unusual verbal finesse and great humor, Sam Byers neatly skewers the tangled relationships and unhinged narcissism of a self-obsessed generation in a remarkable, uproarious first novel.
