Description
A young woman named Elyria vanishes from her life in New York—leaving behind her husband, her job writing for a network soap opera, and the routines that once made her feel anchored. As she drifts between obsession and numbness, her disappearance becomes both a private reckoning and a darkly comic investigation into what it means to be seen, missed, or erased. With mordant humor and uncanny emotional precision, the novel explores grief, self-destruction, and the strange ways language and performance can mask—or reveal—our deepest truths. Catherine Lacey’s searching, emotionally resonant style turns an act of disappearance into a haunting portrait of agency, alienation, and the thin line between escape and vanishing.
