{"product_id":"quantum-voices-stephen-spotte-9781948598767","title":"Quantum Voices","description":"Anax Grayson, a neuroscientist and physicist, enlists in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and is assigned to an undermanned reconnaissance team. One member, Skeeter Hatfield, came of age in a southern West Virginia coal camp and suffered since childhood from a rare malady known as heautoscopic hallucinations during which he sees ghostly, extra-corporeal projections of his dead twin brother. In a journal Grayson records life as a field Marine, his observations of Hatfield's neurological condition, and speculates about matter and time. Hatfield survives a mortar attack and returns home with debilitating wounds. He marries a childhood acquaintance and with her help tries to overcome the terrifying hallucinations of his antagonistic Other. Spotte's narrative mosaic juxtaposes the dysfunctional, barely literate Hatfield family against Grayson's sympathetic erudition, weaving a mesmerizing disquisition on friendship, love, notions of time and space, neuroscience, quantum physics, consciousness, and the myths of agency and selfhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Spotte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948598760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948598767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Books Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Stephen Spotte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445959045375,"sku":"9781948598767","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce33b476-5e52-4b6c-822f-90d3898c6c03.jpg?v=1777221742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quantum-voices-stephen-spotte-9781948598767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
