Lively, moving, and at moments astonishing, Rebecca Handler's Kafkaesque literary mystery is either a reflection on middle aged malaise or the cover-up for a murderous plot.

Nothing is missing from her family's San Francisco home, but everything feels wrong. Certain a burglar was there recently, the woman lurks about her own house during a sleepless night of questioning. Have you ever been sure that someone is watching you? Does a lifetime of putting others first lead to permanent paranoia? As a once in a lifetime pandemic wanes, have we all built versions of ourselves we're performing for an unseen audience? In the depths of one strange night in her living room, she seeks answers from her teenage son and her troubled neighbor. She dances to 90s music and buys herself underwear online. And she wonders: Will she be able to solve the mystery of her own purpose so she can save herself?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Handler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1963270800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963270808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McSweeney's\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rebecca Handler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588468748543,"sku":"9781963270808","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-round-rebecca-handler-9781963270808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
