A Naked Singularity is a perfect example: it s by first-time author
Sergio De La Pava, it was published by Xlibris in 2008 with no fanfare
and no acclaim, and it s a masterpiece. The book s plot is at once
simple a grubbily valorous lawyer in the New York public defender s
office buffeted by conscience and tempted by the possibility of an
illicit fortune, takes on the case of Alabama death row inmate Jalen
Kingg and watches his entire life spin out of control and
bewilderingly complex, involving hundreds of outsized characters and
thousands of digressions on topics ranging across the entirety of the
21st century intellectual spectrum, from baseball to pop culture to
(as its title suggests) particle physics. In its sheer scope, its
extended stretches of rhetorical razzle dazzle, and the utterly
deadpan way it grapples with all that s darkest in human nature, A
Naked Singularity propels the reader into a literary maelstrom worthy
of Pynchon, and Gaddis....
