"Glass Shatters is unlike any novel I've read before. It's an inventive, daring, and remarkable debut that pushes the edges of fiction with tremendous success. Michelle Meyers is certainly a writer to watch."--Ivy Pochoda, Visitation Street "About a trail of lost and found memories in a world of genetic science, each sentence in Glass Shatters is as crystalline and vivid as recall can get. Tightly plotted, it carefully walks and then fancifully deviates from the scientific through line, making both the novelist and science journalist in me applaud." --Rebecca Coffey, author, Hysterical: Anna Freud's Story "A puzzle and a page-turner, Glass Shatters invites readers into a dark investigation of one man's attempt to recover his memories and identity. Michelle Meyers has expertly crafted an engrossing novel with a sophisticated blend of art, science, and emotion, one that is ultimately an imaginative elegy on the arresting forces of love and loss." --Gallagher Lawson, author of The Paper Man " Glass Shatters , the truly uncanny, memorable novel of (among other things) memory presents itself as a transparent tale that soon (it does grow on you) transmutes into the translucent transcendental shades of Poe and Dick and James at his supernatural-est. This is domestic hyper-realism, turning ever irreal at the edges. The book is a magnificent machine, machining the senses and sensation. Michelle Meyers splinters feelings, running them through the ringer, a sieve so fine-tuned one begins to see the tinge and tint that spark, right there, off the spectrum, just out of insight." --Michael Martone, author of Michael Martone and Winesburg, Indiana "Bold ideas explored with verve and imagination. Meyers is unafraid of taking the reader to bizarre and unexpected regions of this and other realities, along the way exploring the strangeness of existence." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, "Glass Shatters is unlike any novel I've read before.

Meyers busts the detective story into pieces and digs through these shards to dissect memory, identity, and what it means to be alive."--Brandi Wells, author of This Boring Apocalypse "Glass Shatters is unlike any novel I've read before.

Synopsis
A man wakes up in a living room he doesn't recognize, unable to remember anything about himself. All he has are the few remnants of his identity scattered throughout the house--clues to his past. He soon learns that he is Charles Lang, a brilliant scientist whose wife, Julie, and daughter, Jess, mysteriously disappeared several years ago. Soon, he begins to recover memories--memories that may or may not be his own--and as he does, he realizes that only by uncovering the details of his former life will he have any hope of being reunited with Julie and Jess. A haunting tale of love and longing, fate and free will, and the easily blurred lines between fiction and reality, Glass Shatters explores the risks of trying to reinvent oneself, and the dangers of pushing science to its limits., Following the mysterious disappearance of his wife and daughter, scientist Charles Lang goes to desperate lengths to escape his past and reinvent himself.
