THEORY OF REMAINDERS by Scott Dominic Carpenter Named a Midwest Connections Pick by Midwest Independent Book Sellers Association |
|
Theory of Remainders, the debut novel by Scott Dominic Carpenter, due to release May 22, has received the coveted “Kirkus Star” from leading trade reviewer Kirkus. Calling the novel “complex and ingenious,” the review describes how Carpenter “weaves together the consequences of a horrific trauma and the thirst for both vengeance and acceptance with explorations of the human mind, family dynamics and the complexities of language.” All in all, “fully realized characters, a remarkable fluency of language, wit, and an extensive comprehension of French culture and history make this literary novel a stellar achievement.” The entire review is available here: http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/scott-dominic-carpenter/theory-of-remainders/ Theory of Remainders tells the tale of a father who seeks the truth about a traumatic past. Despite a career spent helping others, psychiatrist Philip Adler has never recovered from the loss of his own daughter, fifteen years ago. When a funeral draws him back to his ex-wife’s homeland of France, the trip impels him to confront the past in a final search for answers, closure, and his daughter’s body.
The Winona Post says the novel is "a thoughtful, gentle book about death and renewal that will also entertain the reader through a beautiful sunny weekend on the deck.
The Grand Rapids Herald Review calls the book "a wonderful read that is expertly written.
And the Midwest Independent Book Sellers Association has named the title one of its Midwest Connections Picks for June and July.
The official book launch party is Monday, June 24, 7 p.m. at Common Good Books in St. Paul and the public is invited. Pre-orders are available at: http://www.barnesandnoble.com. |

National Media Campaign for ONE YEAR LIVED is Well Underway |
|
 The media campaign for Adam Shepard, author, ONE YEAR LIVED, is going strong! Adam's next interview is scheduled for Wed., May 22nd at 8:30 p.m. on the nationally syndicated Talk Radio Network.
ONE YEAR LIVED is Adam's accounting of the year he spent living abroad, immersing himself in other cultures. He says living with people from other cultures and backgrounds gave him a good understanding of where people are coming from, and he recommends it's something other young people do as part of their education. "It's fascinating the perspective we can gain when we step out of our bubbles of comfort, even just a little bit," he says.
Shepard visited seventeen countries on four continents from late 2011 to late 2012, and is excited to share what he learned with people around the world. He spent less than $20,000 the entire year.
