Sergio De La Pava's A Naked Singularity was one of the most highly praised debut novels in decades. The Wall Street Journal called it "a propulsive, mind-bending experience," and named it one of the ten best books of the year. The Toronto Star did the same, calling it "a great American novel: large, ambitious, and full of talk." In Slate, Paul Ford proclaimed,"It's a fine thing for an author to bring forth something so unapologetically maximalist."
This book is nothing like that one. Just look at it: A Naked Singularity was a brick of a book, 678 pages, and this one's slim--lean and focused. A Naked Singularity locked us into the unforgettable voice of its protagonist, Casi, while Personae shimmers and shifts among different perspectives, locations, and narrative techniques.
