- Milligan’s
- debut

- is
- as
- ambitious
- and
- complex
- as
- its
- main
- character,
- Coulter
- Zahn,
- who
- aspires
- to
- nothing
- less
- than
- a
- complete
- understanding
- of
- the
- universe.
- An
- Elegant
- Theory
- intrigues
- the
- mind,
- thrills
- the

- the
- surprising

- reality
- differently
- than
- others.
- Much
- like
- light
- can
- theoretically
- be
- in
- all
- places
- at
- once,
- Coulter
- sees
- multiple
- versions
- of
- his
- life.
- A
- promising
- PhD
- candidate
- at
- MIT,
- he
- and
- his
- young
- wife
- are
- nervously
- expecting
- their
- first
- child.

- his
- dissertation
- comes
- under
- intense
- criticism,
- his
- estranged
- mother
- returns,
- and
- Sara
- tells
- him
- she's
- leaving
- him,
- Coulter’s
- already
- delicate
- mental
- state
- becomes
- further
- fragmented.One
- evening,
- with
- his
- life
- and
- mental
- health
- unraveling,
- Coulter
- loses
- control,
- irreparably
- changing
- the
- course
- of
- the
- lives
- around
- him.
- But
- the
- very
- next
- morning,
- he
- catches
- a
- break
- in
- his
- research,
- discovering
- the
- true
- shape
- of
- the
- universe.
- Influenced
- by
- those
- around
- him
- and
- his
- own
- untrustworthy
- psyche,
- Coulter
- must
- decide
- whether
- to
- face
- the
- consequences
- of
- his
- actions
- or
- finish
- his
- research,
- perhaps
- making
- the
- greatest
- contribution
- to
- science
- since
- Einstein’s
- theory
- of

- thriller,
- An
- Elegant
- Theory
- explores
- how
- the
- construction
- of
- memory
- and
- consciousness
- can
- shape
- motive,
- guilt,
- and
- identity
- through
- the
- lens
- of
- a
- modern-day
- mad-scientist
- motif."An
- Elegant
- Theory
- is
- a
- vibrant
- puzzle
- of
- a
- novel,
- an
- unstoppable
- force—full
- of
- twists,
- turns,
- and
- surprises
- while
- remaining
- fully
- grounded
- in
