The Session: A Novella in Dialogue

"Petrovich draws vivid characters and establishes real tensions seemingly out of thin air. The Session is a novel made up of the sorts of ideas that will linger in your memory for days or maybe weeks." --Miami Herald

Frantic, stunning, and with a subversive intelligence, Aaron Petrovich's Keatonesque heroes, Detectives Smith and Smith, stumble upon a bizarre new religion while following the trail of a murdered mathematician's missing organs. Their investigation to discover the truth--about the mathematician's murder, the mob of men and women who may have eaten him, and ultimately the nature of truth, sanity, and identity--leads them into a lunatic asylum they may never leave. Writing in a pitch-perfect language reminiscent of Beckett, Chandler, and Pinter, Petrovich elevates rapid-fire banter to a hysterical musical litany that carries the detectives, and the reader, right along with it.
