From your New York Times best-selling author comes a first book as spellbinding as her acclaimed nonfiction. At 34, Nick Walsh is a destroyed, deeply cynical man. Since the violent deaths of his parents 13 years before, he has been living exclusively in his childhood home in the suburban Midwest, taking in, drugging, and debauching himself into oblivion. A measure of solace is provided by his newly found relationship with Monica, a mystical woman who appears to harbor as many secrets as he does indeed. Obsessed with understanding the circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths and deranged by his relentless sorrow, Nick begins a campaign of spying on his neighbors via hidden cams and microphones he has covertly installed in their residences. As he observes with amusement and disbelief all the strange, sad, and terrifying things that his neighbors do to themselves and also to one another, so when he, in turn, learns that he's being stalked, he begins to slowly unravel the stunning truth about how and why his parents died. Simultaneously unsettling and moving, funny and horrifying, Thy Neighbor explores the nature of grief, the isolation of suburban life, and who we are really when we think no-one is observing. What viewers and critics have admired in Norah Vincent's nonfiction is completely unleashed in this stunning and provocative book.
