David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis final destination is Zurich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend’s house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs David’s arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Literary+Fiction\"\u003e文學小說 ｜ Literary Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Contemporary+Fiction\"\u003e當代小說 ｜ Contemporary Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Aging\"\u003e老年與人生 ｜ Aging \u0026amp; Later Life\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Memory\"\u003e記憶與回憶 ｜ Memory \u0026amp; Reminiscence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Mortality\"\u003e生命與死亡 ｜ Mortality\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Psychological+Fiction\"\u003e心理小說 ｜ Psychological Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Family+Relationships\"\u003e家庭關係 ｜ Family Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Existential+Fiction\"\u003e存在主義小說 ｜ Existential Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emma Cline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692086362418,"sku":"9780593595244","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4772\/5106\/files\/9780593595244.jpg?v=1788292879","url":"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/products\/switzy-a-novel-by-emma-cline","provider":"Starry Ferry Books 星渡書店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
