Theodore Mead Fegley is definitely the smartest person he knows. By age twelve he was in senior high school, and by fifteen he was attending a top-ranking university. And today, at the tender age of eighteen, he's on the verge of proving the Riemann hypothesis, a mathematical equation that has mystified academics for almost 150 years. But only days before graduation, Mead suddenly packs his bags and flees home to rural Illinois. What caused him to flee remains a mystery to all but Mead and a classmate, whose search for success has developed into dangerous obsession.
In the home, Mead finds little solace. His past ghosts haunt him, his parents hardly understand him, and his dreams seem to be crushed forever. As he embarks on a new life's journey--learning the family business of selling furniture and embalming the dead--he disappoints and surprises all who knew him as ''the young Fegley genius.''
Equal parts academic thriller and poignant coming-of-age story, Life after Genius follows the exceptional journey of a man who must discover that the heart may know very well what the head has yet to learn.
