The Singularities 2022
The Singularities is an English-language novel by Irish writer John Banville, published in 2022 through Alfred A. Knopf. The book draws on elements from the author’s previous works. Felix Mordaunt, who was sentenced to life in prison for murder, has just been released. He returns to his old family home, now lived in by Adam and Helen Godley, a couple in middle age. Adam’s deceased father, Adam senior, was a well-known academic. He developed the "Brahma theory", which deals with space, time and multiple universes. Adam hires William Jaybey, an academic author, to write his father's biography; Jaybey agrees despite having little respect for Professor Godley’s contributions. The novel contains 320 pages.
