Steve Toltz’s new novel is jokey, polymathic and turned up to 11
Steve Toltz's fourth novel "A Rising of the Lights" is a comic bildungsroman following Russell Wilson, a 50-something psychologist abandoned by his family and wife's infidelity. Toltz fills the narrative with hyperactive humor across multiple overlapping family dramas and philosophical observations about mortality and arrested adulthood. The Booker-shortlisted novel explores whether anyone truly comes of age in an chaotic world.
