Meet Daniel Wellington: art historian, academic star, devoted
husband, and total basket case. Although Daniel has known nothing
but success, he’s convinced the future promises nothing but
disaster. When his wife, known simply as R., presents him with a
tiny, size-XXS Yale sweatshirt, Daniel is seized by the impulse to
bolt; the specter of imminent fatherhood sends him into a
full-blown existential crisis. Soon this well-intentioned young
professor finds himself plotting bigamy, lying about his past,
imagining his pregnant wife in the arms of an androgynous grad
student, and explaining to the dean his obscene e-mail to the lead
in a student production of Miss Julie. From an idyllic New England
campus to the rarefied art worlds of Berlin and London, The
Catastrophist charts the rise and fall and partial rebound of an
ambivalent but endearing Everyman and heralds the appearance of a
major new comedic voice in American fiction..
