He thought for a moment, and then gave an intriguing answer: “Most investigations into homicides are solved when a witness, or someone close to the crime, tells the investigator what happened,” he said. My brother-in-law is an NCIS special agent, and I’d been thinking about time travel, so over hamburgers at the Tyson’s Corner mall food court I asked for his thoughts about how time travel might affect his investigations.
T ell us about the concept and inspiration for The Gone World?Ībout six years ago, my sister-in-law threw my wife a baby shower at her home in Virginia (girls only), and so my brother-in-law and I went out for lunch and a movie. What comes below is a conversation with him on his inspirations for The Gone World and the characters in the story. His new novel, which also happens in Western Pennsylvania, is both luminous and unsettling. Also, he obtained his Master’s Degree in Literary and Cultural Theory from Carnegie Mellon. Why picking Pittsburgh as a setting? For one thing, because he lives there.
His earlier novel, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, happens in a time period when the city of Pittsburgh has been reduced to ash due to a blast.
The book follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind. The Gone World, the new novel by Tom Sweterlitsch, is a curious science fiction thriller which crosses traditional genre boundaries.
