Ten years after the death of his mother--the person who shaped his inner world and artistic spirit--Peter Kafka, a man driven by beauty, haunted by loss, and relentlessly self-inventing, finally finds the courage to unveil the twenty paintings that embody his soul. But the moment meant to define his future instead unravels it.
Over the course of three extraordinary days in Manhattan, Peter is swept into a whirlwind of guilty obsession, unexpected encounters, and the inescapable pull of the past.
From offices of the art world's elite to a dimly lit restaurant with an alluring woman he has only just met, Peter struggles to hold on to his ambition, identity, and ultimately, himself.
Fiercely intelligent, darkly funny, and profoundly philosophical, The Eternal Return is a bold, deeply original novel about passion and pain, purpose and possibility, and our enduring quest for meaning and the strength to live honestly, in a world that keeps pushing us toward the edge.
