called THE NIX. One, from '09 by Abbey Frommer, sounds very sci fi and like part of a series. The other, by Nathan Hill and quite recent, is "a mother-son psychodrama with ghosts and politics, but it is also a tragicomedy about anger and sanctimony in America. . . Nathan Hill is a maestro." High praise from John Irving. Sounds interesting. I'm guessing this is the one you have.
