Winner: of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play. A young woman has spent years caring for her brilliant father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, her estranged sister, and Hal, a former student who hopes to find value in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, the discovery of a mysterious notebook draws Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her father’s madness—or genius—has she inherited? “Compelling . . . full of mystery, unexpected humor, surprise, and old-fashioned story-telling.”
