The one-eyed man
After his wife Sarah dies, K. becomes so wedded to the notion of clarity that he infuriates friends and strangers alike. When he intervenes in an armed robbery, K. finds himself both an inadvertent hero and the star of a new reality television program. Together with Claire, a grocery store clerk with a sharp tongue and a yen for celebrity, he travels the country, ruffling feathers and gaining fame at the intersection of American politics and entertainment. But soon he discovers that the world will fight viciously to preserve its delusions about itself.

Summary
The One-Eyed Man
K., the narrator of Currie's new novel, joins the ranks of other great American literary creations who show us something new about ourselves. Possessed of a hyper-articulate exasperation with the world, he is a doomed truth teller whom everyone misunderstands. How this unconventional hero finds peace and reenters the world makes for a dramatic, utterly memorable story.
