""Last December a woman entered my apartment who looked exactly like my wife.".." (from the first line)

At once a moving love story, a dark comedy, a psychological thriller, and a deeply disturbing portrait of a fracturing mind, this highly inventive debut explores the mysterious nature of human relationships.
 
Annotation:
In this labyrinthine and paranoid debut novel, a psychiatrist falls victim to Capgras syndrome and believes his beloved wife has been replaced by a doppelganger. Meanwhile, one of his clients goes missing after becoming convinced that he is receiving coded messages from Page Six in the New York Post. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

 

Praise
"A CRYING OF LOT 49 nostalgia hit...[and] an enthralling debut." (starred review) 02/11/2008

"[A] brainy, whimsical, emotionally contained first novel by Rivka Galchen, a young M.D. turned M.F.A...Galchen's inventive narrative strategies call to mind the playful techniques of Jonathan Lethem, Franz Kafka, Primo Levi and Thomas Pynchon." - Liesl Schillinger 07/13/2008

"Gaichen's remarkably assured debut is not just funny, passionate, idiosyncratic and original, but her observations on love and memory prove wise beyond her years." - Marc Schultz 01/05/2009
