"From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road comes the second
volume of a two-volume masterpiece: Stella Maris is an intimate portrait of grief
and longing, as a young woman in a psychiatric facility seeks to understand her own
existence. Black River Falls, Wisconsin, 1972: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with
forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral
candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead,
she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience
of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother
feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces
her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while,
she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts
of Alicia's psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually
challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions
of God, truth, and existence"
