Two writers are on a collision course. As a child, sixty-three-year-old contemporary author Warren Porter had been unable to save his brother, Connor, from drowning. But Connor's astonishing return from the dead leaves a young Warren with much to consider. Connor continues visiting Warren and provides him with stories from beyond the grave. Adult Warren uses Connor's stories to build a successful literary career for himself, but when trying to write his own material, hits a severe case of writer's block, existential guilt, and the intrusion of unnervingly repressed memories. Twenty-five-year-old Sarah Hughes, a 1970's small-town author, had an early life of storied success until her adult dreams were quickly dashed by New York's realities. Sarah also finds herself in an abusive relationship. Unable to flee, she incorporates her maltreatment into her Great American Novel, but even the most well-plotted of stories can take horrible, left turns all on their own . . . .
Warren and Sarah come together across Time and prose, in the most bizarre and mind-bending of ways
that confound the boundaries of fiction and reality.
