Beschreibung

<p><b>From Olivie Blake, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Atlas Six</i>, comes a literary, intimate study of time, space, and the nature of love. <i>Alone with You in the Ether</i> explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.</b><br><br>CHICAGO, SOMETIME-<br>Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings.<br><br>For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision.<br><br>To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. <br><br>For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability-until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?</p>
