With Properties of Light, the award-winning author of The Mind-Body Problem gives us “one of the magnificent performances in contemporary fiction, a fusion of the imagination and intellect . . . achingly beautiful, moving, and intriguing on every page” (Charles Johnson). This mesmerizing tale of consuming love and murderous professional envy carries the reader into the very heart of a physics problem so huge and perplexing it thwarted even Einstein: the nature of light. Caught in the entanglements of erotic and intellectual passion, three physicists grapple with mysteries of science as well as mysteries of the heart with consequences not even their finely honed intellects can predict.
“Luminous, incendiary . . . Properties of Light is a novel of cool grace and dark lyricism, lit by the imaginative fire of physics and its improbable cosmologies” (New York Times Book Review).
Review:
"The novel's...refractive narration, lush prose and obsessive characters are reminiscent of Vladimir Nabokov. Like Nabokov, Goldstein is as focused on the manner of telling as on the tale itself. Her pitch is high and romantic, which seems odd for the rarefied ideas being communicated, until we realize that it takes a certain wild state of mind to bring properties of light to bear on all the darkness around us."
Floyd Skloot, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 08/27/2000
Review:"Though it's impossible not to admire Ms. Goldstein's efforts to write a Gothic suspense story that's also a novel of ideas, her characters remain too two-dimensional and her storytelling too ponderous for the reader to ever become fully engaged."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 08/29/2000
