This is the way the world ends. Three interlocked novels explore a landscape that stretches from the Pacific Northwest to the Nowhere Place. An art appraiser’s trip through a haunted mansion is derailed by a death ray. A 14th-century Italian scion dies brokenhearted and spends eternity keeping tabs on every single suicide on earth. A Mesoamerican Jaguar god unveils a vision of Yankee Stadium as a post-apocalyptic tomb, then hands a pair of Gutenberg bibles to the scene’s horrified witness. Through its 600 pages, Icon proves to be more than a dark, sensitive and sweeping investigation of memory's inherent violence and implied oblivion; it may also prove to be the most unusual work of fiction you will ever read.
