The Genius And The Goddess

One sentence synopsis... A old man looks back and reflects upon his ultimately tragic affair with the wife of his mentor. .

Read it if you like... quick reads (it's more of a novella). If you enjoy psychology, sociology-historical references and philosophy packed into fiction. Or if you want something reminiscent of Fitzgerald. .

Dream casting... Hugh Laurie as the crotchety quantum physics professor/genius Dr. Maartens. Florence Pugh as his much younger, “Valkyrie-beauty” wife. Adam Driver as John Rivers the sheltered landscape assistant who ingratiates himself with their family.
