About the Book

For fans of Joshua Cohen and Ben Lerner, After James captures the dystopian strangeness of our current world. A neuroscientist walks out of her life and isolates herself in the woods, intending to blow the whistle on a pharmaceutical company and its creativity drug gone wrong. A recently orphaned graduate school dropout is hired as a "literary detective" to decode the work of a mysterious Internet poet who writes about disappearances and murders with an inexplicably precise knowledge of private details. And a virologist discovers her identity has been stolen by a conceptual artist in whose stories someone always goes missing. Ali, James, and Celia exist in worlds where implausibilities that once belonged to science fiction, ancient superstition, or dystopian visions are real or impending. Set in great cities, remote regions, and deadly borderlands, Michael Helm's groundbreaking novel, After James, is told in three parts, each gesturing toward a different fiction genre: the gothic horror, the detective novel, and the apocalyptic. Science and art become characters, and secrets form, hidden in the codes of genetic sequences, poems, and the patterns of political violence. Part to part, elements repeat―otherworldly weather, disturbing artwork, buried corpses―and amid these echoes, a larger mystery arises, one that joins artifice to nature and fiction to reality, delivering us into the troubling wonder of the present world.

About the Author :
Michael Helm was born in Saskatchewan. His novel Cities of Refuge was a national bestseller in Canada and was a Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Award finalist, a Giller Prize nominee, and a Globe and Mail and Now magazine Best Book of the Year. Helm is an editor for Brick and teaches at York University in Toronto. Cassandra Campbell has won multiple Audie Awards, Earphones Awards, and the prestigious Odyssey Award for narration. She was been named a "Best Voice" by AudioFile magazine and in 2018 was inducted in Audible's inaugural Narrator Hall of Fame. Ray Chase is a voiceover artist, writer, and musician who graduated from the University of Southern California with degrees in theater and cinema/television. He began his career by reading the Goosebumps series aloud in the car to his mother and sister on the way to school. They didn't seem to mind, and he hopes you don't either. Amy McFadden has narrated over 200 titles in many different genres. She is an AudioFile Earphones Award winner and a 2014 Audie Award finalist in literary fiction. A founding member of Dog Story Theater, Amy lives in the Midwest, where she performs on stage, screen, and microphone.

Review :
"By turns harrowing and memorable, Helm's tales resonate in an age of Internet trolling and corrupt pharmaceutical companies, in which art and science blur ethical boundaries." -- "Booklist" "Michael Helm brings his acute, soulful intelligence to bear on the question of how we live now. He powerfully evokes the isolation embedded in our relentless hyper-connectedness...He shows us the poignancy in our human need to make sense and the distortions that come from our endless desire for answers." -- "Dana Spiotta, National Book Award-nominated author"
