A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice One of LitHub's Most Anticipated Books of 2020 An
expansive radiant and genre-defying investigation into bonding-and how we are shaped by
forces we cannot fully know Is love a force akin to gravity? A kind of invisible fabric which
enables communications through space and time? Artist Harry Dodge finds himself contemplating
such questions as his father declines from dementia and he rekindles a bewildering but powerful
relationship with his birth mother. A meteorite Dodge orders on eBay becomes a mysterious
catalyst for a reckoning with the vital forces of matter the nature of consciousness and the
bafflements of belonging. Structured around a series of formative formidable coincidences in
Dodge's life My Meteorite journeys with stylistic bravura from Barthes to Blade Runner from
punk to Pale Fire. It is a wild incandescent book that creates a literary universe of its own.
Blending the personal and the philosophical the raw and the surreal the transgressive and the
heartbreaking Harry Dodge revitalizes our world illuminating the magic just under the surface
of daily life.
