Product Information
Mr. Eternity will be sizzling in my brain for a long time. -Lauren Groff Key West, 2016. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying. In short, everything is going to hell. It's here that two young filmmakers find something to believe in- an old sailor who calls himself Daniel Defoe and claims to be five hundred and sixty years old. In fact, old Dan is in the prime of his life -- an incredible, perhaps eternal American life. The story unfolds over the course of a millennium, picking up in the sixteenth century in the Viceroyalty of New Granada and continuing into the twenty-sixth, where, in the future Democratic Federation of Mississippi States, Dan serves as an advisor to the King of St. Louis. Some things remain constant throughout the centuries, and being on the edge of ruin may be one. In 1560, the Spaniards have destroyed the Aztec and Inca civilizations. In 2500, we've destroyed our own- the cities of the Atlantic coast are underwater, the union has fallen apart, and cars, plastics, and air conditioning are relegated to history. But there are other constants too- love, humor, and old Dan himself, always adapting and inspiring others with dreams of a better life. An ingenious, hilarious, and genre-bending page-turner, Mr. Eternity is multiple novels in one. Together they form an uncommon work -- about our changing planet and its remarkable continuities.

Reviews
"With symbolism and analogy, surrealism and fantasy, Thier deftly reflects on and explores the human condition through 'the lavender light and sweet scented dust of history.' Erudite. Imaginative. A work to be read slowly and savored." --starred review, Kirkus Reviews "Thier uses his deathless protagonist to chart the rise and fall of the American empire, and also those certainties--love, trade--that afflict every age . . . The moral imagination behind Defoe's adventures rivals that of his namesake, begging comparison to the best literature has to offer."-- Publishers Weekly "Thier's story lines entwine in Faulknerian brilliance . . . An enchanting, humorous, and visionary experience." -- Booklist "Only a writer as wickedly smart as Aaron Thier would think to write such a twisted and wild story about Florida and climate change and time-battered Daniel Defoe; only Aaron Thier could pull it all off with such aplomb and in such gleeful and spiny language. Mr. Eternity will be sizzling in my brain for a long time." --Lauren Groff, author of FATES AND FURIES "The end of the world has never been so much fun as in Aaron Thier's brilliant cavalcade of a novel. Careening back- and forward while staying peacefully centered, offering absurdities and heartbreaks in equal measure, Mr. Eternity is a moving exploration of our past, present, and future discombobulations." --Daniel Handler, author of WHY WE BROKE UP and WE ARE PIRATES "The combination of vivid inventiveness at the sentence level, and wide-ranging vistas across the centuries, makes this novel a joy to read. Daniel Defoe himself would have loved this book." --Kim Stanley Robinson, author of THE MARS TRILOGY "Aaron Thier's Mr. Eternity is shrewd, smart, and funny." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of THE SIXTH EXTINCTION, "Mr. Thier's dizzying time-travels will inevitably call to mind David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas," and the danger of such books is that they tend to grow solemn and sanctimonious as they peer into the future. Happily, "Mr. Eternity" remains playful even as it relates catastrophe." - The Wall Street Journal "With symbolism and analogy, surrealism and fantasy, Thier deftly reflects on and explores the human condition through 'the lavender light and sweet scented dust of history.' Erudite. Imaginative. A work to be read slowly and savored." - starred review, Kirkus Reviews "Thier uses his deathless protagonist to chart the rise and fall of the American empire, and also those certainties--love, trade--that afflict every age . . . The moral imagination behind Defoe's adventures rivals that of his namesake, begging comparison to the best literature has to offer." - Publishers Weekly "Thier's story lines entwine in Faulknerian brilliance . . .

Daniel Defoe himself would have loved this book." - Kim Stanley Robinson, author of THE MARS TRILOGY "Aaron Thier's Mr. Eternity is shrewd, smart, and funny." - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of THE SIXTH EXTINCTION "An absolutely phenomenal book, a comedy of everything. Astonishing." - Michael Hofmann, critic and author of WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?: SELECTED ESSAYS "The books reminds me of a modern Candide . . . Read this book, it's awesome." - Ryan Holiday, "Reading Recommendation" Newsletter "[A]n amazing work of staggering genius . . . Aaron Thier has reinvented the comic novel, reimagined the picaresque, written the Don Quixote for our time -- one that features not a mad idealist but a cynical wit, appropriate for this century and the ones (if any) to follow." - Betsy Burton, "Books & Beats," KUER "Clever, smart, and brilliantly comic as it deals with our humanity, our resilient spirit, and the tremendous challenges that demand our cooperative attention . . . This genre-bending page-turner is a blast to read!" - Ed Conklin, Chaucer's Books, Santa Barbara, CA, "Only a writer as wickedly smart as Aaron Thier would think to write such a twisted and wild story about Florida and climate change and time-battered Daniel Defoe; only Aaron Thier could pull it all off with such aplomb and in such gleeful and spiny language.

This genre-bending page-turner is a blast to read!" - Ed Conklin, Chaucer's Books, Santa Barbara, CA "Thier likes messin' with historicity, as did Faulkner, and he uses crisp precise wit, as did (Donald) Barthelme, to mess with it." - Padgett Powell, "The combination of vivid inventiveness at the sentence level, and wide-ranging vistas across the centuries, makes this novel a joy to read. Daniel Defoe himself would have loved this book." --Kim Stanley Robinson, author of THE MARS TRILOGY "Aaron Thier's Mr. Eternity is shrewd, smart, and funny." --Elizabeth Kolbert "An absolutely phenomenal book, a comedy of everything. I must say, I'm a little awed. Astonishing." --Michael Hofmann "[A] mordant and mischievous satire . . . [set] amid the wild dysfunction and navel-gazing self-delusion of academia . . . The Ghost Apple does what satire is meant to do. It makes us laugh and it makes us think. Thier renders a deranged world that we recognize as our own." -- Boston Globe on THE GHOST APPLE "Loopy course descriptions, the minutiae of faculty meetings, blurbs from the school newspaper, et al., create a delicious texture . . . A droll comedy of modern manners, incisive without being angry, this satire within satire within satire will delight." -- starred review, Publishers Weekly on THE GHOST APPLE "An improbable laugh riot." -- starred review, Kirkus Reviews on THE GHOST APPLE "As deadpan as Donald Bathelme's best work and as antic as John Barth's, The Ghost Apple provides further compelling evidence, for those who still need it, about the ways in which our most cherished and trusted institutions always manage to facilitate the process of sending our world to hell in a hand basket. Aaron Thier is a smart and funny and passionate new voice." --Jim Shepard, author of National Book Award finalist LIKE YOU'D UNDERSTAND, ANYWAY "Antic, darkly funny, and--like all the best satire--deadly serious beneath its surface, this unusually inventive debut reads like a classic campus novel shredded, set on fire, and rebuilt by Jonathan Swift." --Andrea Barrett, author of ARCHANGEL, on THE GHOST APPLE "A meditation on globalization, higher education, slavery, disease, and the addictive effects of all-you-can-eat pudding, this novel is at once lyrical and satirical, formally inventive and steeped in tradition. It is the sort of book that makes you laugh only until you realize how sharp its bite is." --David Leavitt on THE GHOST APPLE
