Scott Hutchins
In his debut novel, A Working Theory of Love (Penguin, $25.95), Scott Hutchins takes readers on an odyssey of love, grief, and reconciliation. Set in San Francisco following the implosion of his marriage, a young man works on creating the first sentient computer by feeding it his father’s diary entries. When he discovers a missing year in the diaries—a year that must hold some secret to his parents’ marriage and perhaps even his father’s suicide—everything Neill thought he knew about his past comes into question. Hutchins is a former Truman Capote fellow in the Wallace Stegner Program at Stanford University.
