At the start of this edgy and multilayered novel, a model named Charlotte Swenson emerges from a car accident with her face shattered. She returns to New York still beautiful but oddly unrecognizable. With the surreal authority of David Lynch, Egan threads Charlotte's narrative with those of other casualties of infatuation with the image.
