Rivka Galchen--Atmospheric Disturbances
Title: Atmospheric Disturbances
Author: Rivka Galchen
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction
Description:Amazon.com Reviewnot the person you love but a doppelgänger: or, what Leo Liebenstein coolly terms a simulacrum of his wife Rema at the outset of Atmospheric Disturbances. David Byrnes infamous cry that this is not my beautiful wife seems the most likely response, but Leos reaction to this sea change takes unpredictable and dazzlingly plotted turns in the story that follows. Leos journey to recover the real Rema is nothing short of byzantine; among its many mysteries is the delightfully inscrutable Dr. Tzvi Gal-Chen, a master meteorologist who in cleverly constructed flashback sequences takes up residence in the daily rhythms of Leo and Remas marriage and becomes as much a focus of Leos obsession as his wifes whereabouts. (Think --Anne Bartholomew From Publishers WeeklyStarred Review. In this enthralling debut, psychiatrist Dr. Leo Liebenstein sets off to find his wife, Rema, who he believes has been replaced by a simulacrum. Also missing is one of Leos patients, Harvey, who is convinced he receives coded messages (via Page Six in the New York Post) from the Royal Academy of Meteorology to control the weather. At Remas urging, Leo pretends during his sessions with Harvey to be a Royal Academy agent (she thinks the fib could help break through to Harvey), and once Re- ma and Leo disappear, Leo turns to actual Royal Academy member Tzvi Gal-Chens meteorological work to guide him in his search for his wife. Leos quest takes him through Buenos Aires and Patagonia, and as he becomes increasingly delusional and erratic, Galchen adeptly reveals the actual situation to readers, including Remas anguish and anger at her husband. Leos devotion to the real Rema is heartbreaking and maddening; he cannot see that the woman he seeks has been with him all along. Dont be surprised if this gives you a Crying of Lot 49 nostalgia hit.
