New York Times-bestselling author Klosterman\'s second novel is a tour de force exploration of intimacy and voyeurism (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Is this comedy, criticism, or horror? Not even Y__ seems to know for sure..
Interspersed with notes, correspondence, and transcriptions that catalog a relationship based on curiosity and fear, The Visible Man touches on all of Chuck Klosterman\'s favorite themes--the consequence of culture, the influence of media, the complexity of voyeurism, and the existential contradiction of normalcy.
Over time, it threatens her career, her marriage, and her own identity.
Unsure of his motives or honesty, Vick becomes obsessed with her patient and the disclosure of his increasingly bizarre and disturbing tales.
He says he uses this ability to observe random individuals within their daily lives, usually when they are alone and vulnerable.

Therapist Victoria Vick is contacted by a cryptic, unlikable man who insists his situation is unique and unfathomable.
