“As he did in his fantastic debut Mosquitoland, David Arnold again shows a knack for getting into the mind of an eccentric teenager in clever, poignant fashion.”—USA Today
“A surreal, memorable examination of how our relationships can both hurt and ultimately save us.”—Teen Vogue
Noah Oakman is a sixteen-year-old Bowie believer, concise historian, disillusioned swimmer, son, brother, and friend. But on the night of a party, Noah is hypnotized and awakes the next morning to some subtle changes: his mother has a scar on her face that wasn’t there before; his old dog, who once walked with a limp, is suddenly lithe; his best friend, a lifelong DC Comics disciple, now rotates in the Marvel universe. It seems everything in Noah’s world has been rewritten. Everything except the few constants in his life: his Strange Fascinations.
A stunning surrealist portrait, The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik is a story about all the ways we hurt our friends without knowing it, and all the ways they stick around to save us.
