Overview

"Brett, who has written a critical study of postmodern fiction, has hit upon an immensely interesting concept for her debut novel, one that allows her to dig deep into psychology, philosophy, physics, and, most importantly, politics as Daphne shakes Garrett out of his indifference toward the cultural turmoil of the late '60s." --Kirkus Reviews "Brett's imaginative, amusing debut will appeal to fans of Nell Zink." --Publishers Weekly "This absorbing novel vividly mines the physics and psychology of reality, and the reader's reward is a moving story of love and loss." --Hilma Wolitzer, author of An Available Man "With artful storytelling and emotional insightfulness, The Schrödinger Girl engages us in the ultimate mysteries confronting humans: those locked up in physical reality, in the interiority of others, and in one's own perplexed and longing heart." --Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction "Laurel Brett takes us on a trip down those foggy ruins of time to unlock the secrets and mysteries of the human heart and discover why we love and how we love. The voice here is distinctive and authentic, and we find ourselves back in that era of magic and change. This is vibrant and engaging storytelling." --William McKeen, author of Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson Garrett Adams, an uptight behavioral psychology professor who refuses to embrace the 1960s, is in a slump. The dispirited rats in his latest experiment aren't yielding results, and his beloved Yankees are losing. As he sits at a New York City bar watching the Yanks strike out, he knows he needs a change. At a Columbus Circle bookstore he meets a mysterious young woman, Daphne, who draws him into the turbulent and exciting world of Vietnam War protest politics and the music of Bob Dylan and the Beatles. He starts to emerge from the numbness and grief over his father's death in World War II. When Daphne evolves into four separate versions of herself, Garrett's life becomes complicated as he devotes himself to answering questions about character and destiny raised by her iterations. His obsession threatens to upend his relationship with Caroline, a beautiful art historian, destroy his teaching job, and dissolve his friendship with his old pal Jerry. The Daphnes seem to exist in separate realities that challenge the laws of physics and call into question everything Garrett thought he knew. He must decide what is vision, what is science, and what is delusion.
