You could run all the way to New Zealand, but eventually you'll catch up with yourself. Without sharing with her family, Elyria requires a one-way air travel to New Zealand, abruptly leaving her steady but unfulfilling life in Manhattan. As her man scrambles to determine what occurred to her, Elyria hurtles into the unknown, testing fate by hitchhiking, tacitly being swept into the lives of strangers, and sleeping in areas, forests, and general population parks. Her risky and frequently surreal encounters with people and wildlife of New Zealand propel Elyria much deeper into her deteriorating brain. Haunted by her sister's death and used by an interior violence, her growing rage remains so expertly concealed that those who meet her sense little or nothing unwell. This discord between her interior and outer reality leads her to some other obsession: If her truest home is invisible and unknowable to others, is she even alive? The potential risks Elyria takes on her trip are paralleled by the risks Catherine Lacey consumes the storyline. In urgent, spiraling prose, she whittles away at the rage within Elyria and exposes the very real, very knowable panic of the human condition. Yet somehow Lacey manages to poke fun at her unrelenting self-consciousness, her high-stakes search for the dark heart of the home. In the spirit of Haruki Murakami and Amelia Grey, Nobody Is Ever Absent is packed with mordant humor and uncanny insights, as Elyria waffles between obsession and numbness in the face of love, loss, threat, and self-knowledge.
