The stone loves the world / Brian Hall. by Hall, Brian, 1959- author. [New York, New York] : Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, [2021] Subjects Families -- Fiction.   Missing persons -- Fiction.   Women video game designers -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780593297223 (hardcover) 0593297229 (hardcover) Description:  447 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "A wise, inventive, and multilayered novel about two families - one made up largely of scientists, and the other of artists and mystics - whose worlds collide in pursuit of a lost daughter Mette, a twenty-year old programmer of visual effects for video games, lives with her mother, Saskia, an aspiring playwright, in Brooklyn. Mette is a private young woman, a savant who finds something calming in repetitive mathematical calculations. But she has been recently rejected in love, and feels stuck in an endless loop, no longer certain of her place in the world. As Brian Hall's new novel opens, Mette has gone missing. Her disappearance forces Saskia to reunite with Mette's father, Mark, an emotionally distant astronomy professor in Ithaca, to embark on a journey together to find her. Mette's path will take her across America and then to a fateful visit with her charismatic grandfather, Thomas, who formerly ran the commune north of Ithaca where Saskia was raised, and who now lives as a hermit in a windmill on a remote Danish island. Playing out over nine decades and three generations, and stitching together a dazzling array of subjects--from classical music, cosmology, and mathematics to nuclear war gaming and medieval mystery plays--The Stone Loves the World is a story of love, longing, and scientific wonder. It offers a moving reflection on the human search for truth, meaning, and connection in an often incomprehensible universe, and on the genuine surprises that the real world, and human society, can offer"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Hall Checked In Add Copy to MyList
