In Jordan Castros inventive, funny, and surprisingly tender first novel, we follow a young man over the course of a single morning as he tries and fails to write an autobiographical novel, finding himself instead drawn into the infinite spaces of Twitter, quotidian rituals, and his own mind. The act of making coffee prompts a reflection on the limits of selfknowledge an editors embarrassing tweet sparks rage at the literary establishment a meditation on first person versus third examines choice and action an Instagram post about the ethics of having children triggers mimetic rivalry the act of doing the dishes is at once ordinary and profound one of the many small commitments that make up a life of stability. The Novelist A Novel pays tribute to Nicholson Bakers The Mezzanine and Thomas Bernhards Woodcutters, but in the end is a wholly original novel about language and consciousness, the internet and social media, and addiction and recovery.
