Book Description
===================
N is employed at a prestigious California university, where he has
distinguished himself as an aloof and somewhat eccentric presence. His
meticulous, ordered life is violently disrupted by the death of his
estranged father?unanticipated and, as it increasingly seems to N,
surrounded by murky circumstances. His investigation leads him to a
hotel built over a former Spanish mission, a site with a dark power
and secrets all its own. On campus, a chance meeting with a young
doctor provokes uncomfortable feelings about the direction of his
life, and N begins to have vivid, almost hallucinatory daydreams about
the year he spent in Ottawa and a shameful episode from his
past.Meanwhile, a shadowy group of fringe academics surfaces in
relation to his father’s death. Their preoccupation with a grim
chapter in California’s history runs like a surreal parallel to the
staid world of academic life, where N’s relations with his colleagues
grow more and more hostile. As he comes closer to the heart of the
mystery, his ability to distinguish between delusion and reality
begins to erode, and he is forced to confront disturbing truths about
himself: his irrational antagonism toward a young female graduate
student, certain libidinal impulses, and a capacity for violence. Is
he the author of his own investigation? Or is he the unwitting puppet
of a larger conspiracy?
