Loner: A Novel

The critically acclaimed and highly anticipated novel from award-winning writer Teddy Wayne, an unsettling and impossible-to-put-down work that is, â€œpowerfulâ€ (Fresh Air), â€œengrossingâ€ (People), and â€œcomplex and necessaryâ€ (Salon).

David Federman has never felt appreciated. One of the most painfully forgettable members of his New Jersey high school classâ€”despite his being the only senior accepted to Harvardâ€”shy, witty David arrives in Cambridge fully expecting to embrace, and be embraced by, a new tribe of like-minded peers. But at first, beyond the friendly advances of a plain-looking girl named Sara, his social status seems devastatingly unlikely to change.

Then Veronica Morgan Wells enters his life. Instantly infatuated, struck by both her beauty and her brains, David falls feverishly in love with the woman he sees as a charismatic Upper East Side goddess. Determined to stop at nothing to win her attention and an invite into her glamorous world, David begins compromising his own academic and moral standards, tossing everything aside for this one, great chance at happiness. But neither Veronica nor David, it turns out, are exactly as they seemâ€¦

In Loner, Teddy Wayneâ€™s â€œwriting is spiky and electricâ€¦[like] the early work of Jeffrey Eugenidesâ€ (The New York Times Book Review), offering great â€œevidence of a rising talentâ€ (The Wall Street Journal). This is a darkly comic, â€œdeft, involvingâ€ (Chicago Tribune) portrayal of psychosexual obsession that explores just what weâ€™re capable of when our greatest enemies turn out to be ourselves.
