Abstract
Through narratives that cross time and space, a set of characters bears
witness to the life of Oppenheimer, from a secret service agent who
tailed him in San Francisco, to the young lover of a colleague in Los
Alamos, to a woman fleeing McCarthyism who knew him on St. John. As
these men and women fall into the orbit of a brilliant but mercurial
mind at work, all consider his complicated legacy while also uncovering
deep and often unsettling truths about their own lives. (Amazon).
