In Catherine Lacey's ambitious second book, we are launched to Mary, a woman living in New York City struggling with a body that has betrayed her. All but paralyzed with pain, Mary seeks relief from a New Age-y treatment called Pneuma Adaptive Kinesthesia, PAKing for short. And, remarkably, it works. But PAKing is expensive and Mary is broke. So she scours Craigslist for fast-cash jobs and confirms the "Girlfriend Experiment," the brainchild of your eccentric and narcissistic actor determined to find the perfect relationship - even if this means paying women to complete different jobs. Mary is appointed as the "emotional partner"- certainly much better than the "anger partner" or the "maternal partner" - which is pulled into an ego-driven and untidy attempt at individuals connection. Advised in Lacey's personal spiraling prose, The Answers is full of singular yet widespread insights. It really is a gorgeous crossbreed of the story - and idea - powered book that will leave you reeling.
