Photo: Michael Shindler 14 A Working Theory of Love A Novel Scott Hutchins Hailed as the electrifying debut of a prodigious new talent, A Working Theory of Love has it all: a fantastic conceit, a great cast of characters, and a deeply resonant emotional journey that will appeal to both men and women. Before his brief marriage imploded, Neill Bassett took a job feeding data into what could be the world’s first sentient computer. Only his attempt to give it language— through the journals his father left behind after committing suicide—has unexpected consequences. Amidst this turmoil, Neill meets Rachel, a naïve young woman escaping a troubled past, and finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her and the possibilities she holds. But as everything he thought about the past becomes uncertain, every move forward feels impossible. sCott hutChins is a Truman Capote fellow in the Wallace Stegner Program at Stanford University, where he currently teaches. He lives in San Francisco. “ Clever, funny, and very entertaining . . . Hutchins is an unsentimental and compassionate creator of vivid characters.” —The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “ [A] must-read debut. . . . This novel thwarts the reader’s expectations at every turn, blurring the line between man, memory, and machine.” —Details “ I am very happy to say that this book made me very sad, and also very happy—happy to have the witty, loving, and unsentimental companionship of such a knowing loneliness. A smart and wonderful book with a real—a complicated and unpredictable— heart.” —Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances Penguin Readers Guide available online at penguin.com Local events in San Francisco Online Publicity Online Advertising
An extraordinary debut novel that “hits that sweet spot where humor and melancholy comfortably coexist” (Entertainment Weekly) n A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice pick n Scott Hutchins’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, StoryQuarterly, and the Rumpus n A Salon Favorite Book of the Year and a San Francisco Chronicle Book of the Year n Rights sold in 9 countries n For readers of Tom Rachman, Joshua Ferris, and Chad Harbach From A Working Theory of Love: Not everyone’s life will be a great love story. I know that. My own “starter” marriage dissolved a couple of years ago, and I’ve spent much of the time since alone. I’ve had the occasional stretch of dating this or that young lady and sought the occasional solace of one-night stands, which can bring solace, if the attitude is right. I’ve ramped my drinking sharply up and then sharply down. I make the grooves in my life that I roll along. Bachelorhood, I’ve learned, requires routine. Small rituals that honor the unseen moments.
