This is a superb technological fantasy, a tense thriller and a brilliantly imagined debate about the relationship between body and soul. Wonderful., A page-turning, thought-provoking, exhilarating novel ... 'Thriller' may be a somewhat misleading label to fasten on a modern fable that also has elements of science fiction, dystopia, and domestic comedy. But without a doubt, Strange Bodies is a thrill to read., "A page-turning, thought-provoking, exhilarating novel ...

Its exploration of human vulnerability, the notion that consciousness may be no more than 'a trick of the light,' is moving as well as thought-provoking, as elegiac as it is gripping." -- Justine Jordan, The Guardian, The unfolding of the narrative is genuinely eerie, but the richness of allusion and elegance of design make Strange Bodies as much an inquiry into language and identity as a high-concept literary thriller . . .

Synopsis
AN AMBITIOUS AND WHOLLY ORIGINAL NOVEL OF DECEPTION AND PSYCHOSIS BY THE AUTHOR OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FAR NORTH Whatever this is, it started when Nicholas Slopen came back from the dead. In a locked ward of a notorious psychiatric hospital sits a man who insists that he is Dr. Nicholas Slopen, failed husband and impoverished Samuel Johnson scholar. Slopen has been dead for months. Yet nothing can make this man change his story. What begins as a tale of apparent forgery, involving unseen letters by the great Dr. Johnson, grows to encompass a conspiracy between a Silicon Valley mogul and his Russian allies to exploit the darkest secret of Soviet technology: the Malevin Procedure. Marcel Theroux's Strange Bodies takes the reader on a dizzying speculative journey that poses questions about identity, authenticity, and what it means to be truly human.
