Your Name Here by Helen DeWitt and Ilya Gridneff

A major literary event over two decades in the making, Your Name Here marks the seismic return of Helen DeWitt, and will introduce readers to the riveting voice of Ilya Gridneff.

In this death-defying feat of ambition, collaborators Helen DeWitt and Ilya Gridneff present a spectacular honeycomb of books-within-books, weaving together material as diverse as America’s “War on Terror,” countless years of literary history, Scientology, dream analysis, linguistics, email correspondence, screenshots, and graphs into a novel of unparalleled scope and vision. 

Through a metafictional sleight of hand reminiscent of Charlie Kaufman‘s Oscar-nominated Adaptation, or Italo Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler, Your Name Here is a rare work of art that captures the process of becoming itself.
