Rivka Galchen's Atmospheric Disturbances is a "witty, tender, and conceptually dazzling" (Booklist) novel about the mysterious nature of human relationships.
When Dr. Leo Liebenstein's wife disappears, she leaves behind a single confounding clue: a woman who looks, talks, and behaves exactly like her. A simulatcrum. But Leo is not fooled, and he knows better than to trust his senses in matters of the heart. Certain that the real Rema is alive and in hiding, he embarks on a quixotic journey to reclaim her. With the help of his psychiatric patient Harvey--who believes himself to be a secret agent able to control the weather--his investigation leads him from the streets of New York City to the southernmost reaches of Patagonia, in search of the woman he loves.

Recenzii
"A brainy, whimsical, emotionally contained first novel . . . Galchen's inventive narrative strategies call to mind the playful techniques of Jonathan Lethem, Franz Kafka, Primo Levi, and Thomas Pynchon."--Liesl Schillinger, "The New York Times Book Review""A dense, fractally complex first novel by the conspicuously talented Rivka Galchen."--Lev Grossman, "Time
"
"A relentless exploration of how a man could fail to see clearly the woman he loves . . . Galchen has written an original and sometimes affecting novel, one that knows how to move from the comic to the painful."--James Wood, "The New Yorker"
"At once mournful and playful . . . droll, exquisite."--Laura Miller, "Salon.com """
"A relentless exploration of how a man could fail to see clearly the woman he loves . . . [A novel] that knows how to move from the comic to the painful . . . Galchen has a knack for taking a thread and fraying it, so that a sentence never quite ends up where you expect."--James Wood, "The New Yorker"
"At once mournful and playful . . . [a] droll, exquisite first novel."--Laura Miller, "Salon.com"
"There are passages so achingly beautiful in Galchen's strange puzzle of a book--about love, resilience, and perception."--Jennifer Reese, "Entertainment Weekly "(Grade A)
"A dense, fractally complex first novel by the conspicuously talented Rivka Galchen."--Lev Grossman, "Time"
"Galchen's dark and comical mystery is a clever take on the ways love, longing and overanalysis can drive you absolutely nuts."--"Marie Claire"
"Genuinely suspenseful . . . Ms. Galchen is a writer to be watched."--"The Economist"
