About this product

Product Information

Named a Book You Need to Read in 2021 by Harper's Bazaar A "moving, astounding, and totally unsettling" (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author) literary debut following two patients in recovery after an experimental memory drug warps their lives. Lucien moves to Los Angeles to be with his grandmother as she undergoes an experimental treatment for Alzheimer's using the new drug, Memoroxin. An emerging photographer, he's also running from the sudden death of his mother, a well-known artist whose legacy haunts him. Sophie has just landed the lead in the upcoming performance of La Sylphide with the Los Angeles Ballet Company. She still waitresses at the Chateau Marmont during her off hours, witnessing the recreational use of Memoroxin--or Mem--among the Hollywood elite. When Lucien and Sophie meet at The Center, founded by an ambitious yet conflicted doctor to treat patients who've abused Mem, they have no memory of how they got there--or why they feel so inexplicably drawn to each other. Is it attraction, or something they cannot remember from "before"? "Contemplative and wonderfully evocative, finishing The Shimmering State is like waking from a dream, where you reenter the world with fresh eyes and wonder at the frailty of your own memories" (Jessica Chiarella, author of The Lost Girls ).

Reviews
"Who are we without our memories? Who might we be if we could relive someone else's? Meredith Westgate's captivating first novel wrestles with these existential questions without sacrificing her characters' distinctive and emotional essences. An impressive, unsettling, and surprisingly romantic debut." -- HELEN SCHULMAN, author of Come With Me, " The Shimmering State is a slick, LA-set gel-cap, easily digestible, where memories and trauma are wiped away, though their imprints remain. At a rejuvenation center, a photographer and a dancer let their old selves go--every last unwanted memory--while out in the world, strangers' memories are available for consumption in pill form. A classic tale of artists trying to make it in LA flipped on its head." -- KATIE M. FLYNN , author of The Companions, "Cinematic, dreamlike, at times brutal yet poignant. The premise of this new memory drug is tantalizing, and the storylines that unfold from the abuse of it are compelling." -- FRANCES CHA, author of If I Had Your Face, "A dreamy and dazzling first novel. . . . As the story deepens the timelines - past and present - grow closer, and Westgate skillfully tightens the tension so that readers turn pages quickly, needing to know what will happen next. . . . [I]ts setting is fully realized Westgate conjures a vivid Los Angeles full of aspiring dreamers and those who would take advantage of them. . . . The Shimmering State spins a compelling story about what a person will do in order to relieve pain - and what is lost in that release." -- USA Today
