Never. In the book, we watch what happens when his sense of justice and even his sense of self begin to crack--and how his world then slowly devolves. It’s a huge, ambitious novel clearly in the vein of DeLillo, Foster Wallace, Pynchon, and even Melville, and it's told in a distinct, frequently hilarious voice, with a striking human empathy at its center. Its panoramic reach takes readers through crime and courts, immigrant families and urban blight, media savagery and media satire, scatology and boxing, and even a breathless heist worthy of any crime novel. If InfiniteJest stuck a pin in the map of mid-90s culture and drew our trajectory from there, A Naked Singularity does the same for the feeling of surfeit, brokenness, and exhaustion that permeates our civic and cultural life today. In the opening sentence of William Gaddis’s A Frolic of His Own, a character sneers, \"Justice? You get justice in the next world. In this world, you get the law.\" A Naked Singularity reveals the extent of that gap, and lands firmly on the side of those who are forever getting the law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books Feri","offers":[{"title":"Premium Paperback","offer_id":45409699135679,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premium Hardcover","offer_id":45405349314751,"sku":null,"price":490.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8148\/0895\/files\/81SXcyb5bPL._SY385.jpg?v=1766655291","url":"https:\/\/booksferi.store\/products\/a-naked-singularity-by-sergio-de-la-pava","provider":"Books Feri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
