While everyone else may
be fooled, psychiatrist Leo Liebenstein knows better. His wife is not his wife.
She is a dead-ringer—a doppelganger—but something is very wrong. This isn’t Rema.
Could it be that his wife is involved in some infidelity? But why would
infidelity lead to disappearance? Or false appearance? With nothing for Leo to
go on except a potential clue relating to one of his patients, Harvey—a man who
believes he is a secret agent with control over the weather—Leo sets off on a
humorous and science-steeped odyssey to unravel the mystery of his missing wife
and to resolve Harvey’s “conflict with the consensus view of reality.” Moving
from New York City to the southern reaches of Patagonia, Atmospheric
Disturbances is a brilliantly inventive and addictive adventure, mixed with
a scientific exploration of the uncontested truths we know are false.

Critical Praise for
Atmospheric Disturbances
"What’s real? Who’s who? Can we believe
anything? Hard to say in this story of psychotherapist Leo, who thinks his wife
has been replaced by a doppelgänger. Playful,
disturbing, heartbreaking."
—
NOW Magazine
“Beguiling. . . . A heartbreaking tale about the loss, and even the
disappearance, of love.”
—
The Vancouver Sun
“A testimony to the inherent power of storytelling. . . . A most
impressive balancing act, and one certainly worth witnessing first-hand. Well
worth reading.”
