How The Dead Dream by Lydia Millet
In this poignant and thought-provoking novel, the protagonist, T., is a driven real estate developer whose life takes an unexpected turn after a series of personal losses. As he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the materialistic world around him, T. embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads him to a deep connection with endangered animals. His growing empathy for these creatures in peril reflects his own internal struggles and the broader themes of environmental degradation and human isolation. Through T.'s transformation, the narrative explores the delicate balance between ambition and compassion, ultimately questioning the true cost of progress.
