Synopsis "The Buried Light"

Helena Arendt is a scholar without an institution. Expelled from the academy for pursuing a manuscript tradition her colleagues found inadvisable and her supervisors found alarming, she has spent three years working alone in the after-hours margins of a Boston library, assembling a grammar for something that predates every language she knows. When a package arrives at the reference desk - anonymous, addressed to her specifically, containing a reproduction she has never seen and a call number for a book she will have to find herself - the isolation ends. What follows takes her from Boston to Chicago to Frankfurt to the south of France, through rooms that have been waiting for her arrival and conversations with people who have known she was coming longer than she has. Her grandfather worked on the same material a generation before her. Whatever stopped him has been watching her since she began. The Buried Light is a novel about the kind of knowledge that institutions suppress not because it is false but because it is dangerous to the right people; about a woman who inherits a work she did not choose and chooses it anyway; about what it costs to complete what the dead could not finish, and what it is worth.
