It is April 1922. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle arrives in New York on a spiritualist crusade. To packed houses at Carnegie Hall, he displays photographs of ghosts and spirits; of female mediums bound and gagged, ectoplasmic goo emerging from their bodies. In the newspapers, he defends the powers of the mysterious Margery, one of the most famous mediums of the day. His good friend Harry Houdini is a skeptic, and when Doyle claims Margery's powers are superior to Houdini's, the magician goes on the attack. Into this mix of spirit-chasing celebrities enters Molly Goodman, a young reporter whose job is to cover the heated debate. As she wanders into this world of spooks and spirits, murder and criminal frauds, Molly discovers herself: her true love, her place in the world; even her relationship to her beloved dead brother, Carl.

Descripción del producto
Críticas
A well-paced and gripping novel that delves into various forms of discovery--from personal revelations to authenticating frauds.-- "Library Journal"
A Houdini/Doyle adventure worthy of a Sherlock Holmes tale...a gentle, affecting, coming-of-age/coming-of-modernism novel...swirling, sensuous, magical, dangerous, dazzling, and, more than anything, alive.--Arthur Salm "San Diego Union Tribune Books"
In The Man from Beyond, Gabriel Brownstein has written a truly compelling novel, part Dickensian mystery, part Dos Passos chronicle of New York in the years after the Great War. In rendering the disagreement between Harry Houdini, the escape artist, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the mystery writer, he lays out a brilliant novel of ideas.--Maureen Howard
Rollicking...a fast-paced, suspenseful story that offers a great slice of life of New York at the beginning of the 20th century.-- "Boston Herald"
The dramatic and historical material give Brownstein a chance to display his considerable gifts...an appealing experiment in blending the real and the imaginary. Like his magician character, Brownstein puts on a compelling show.--Jennifer Haigh "New York Times Book Review"
The elevated langue, attention to detail, and love of language and history makes this one a keeper. I won't be surprised if in the years to come this book garners a reputation as a cult classic. A beautifully written book.--Tom McNulty "Mystery News"
This brilliant time capsule offers an enticing portrait of the 1920s and delivers a timely message for today's world. A shivery delight.-- "Booklist"
Brownstein has a poet's gift for the vivid image and for extended metaphor. In his cunning novel, spirit and body escape their shackles, trade places, and dance--while we read on, delighted.--Andrea Barrett
