A former historian is spending time in a residential home - but is it an artist''s retreat, a sanatorium, or a mental institute? In hypnotic and digressive prose, Tillman''s narrator spins tales of her life while ruminating on her many and varied preoccupations: chair design, the Manson family, the Zulu alphabet, the death of a pet, family trauma, loneliness - and above all, skin and the meaning of ''sensitivity'' in contemporary society. Meanwhile, these reveries and reminiscences are constantly interrupted by the presence of her fellow residents, each with their own obsessions and neuroses.

American Genius, A Comedy reinvents the modernist novel for our distracted and hypermediated era - it is the tale of a cons
