So excited about this blurb for The Goddess of Small Victories from Sylvia Nasar! If you loved A Beautiful Mind, make sure to add this one to your fall reading list. The Goddess of Small Victories is a pitch perfect comedy of manners set on an intellectual Mt. Olympus in mid-20th century New Jersey. Albert, Oskar, Oppie, Johnny and Kurt are the reigning deities. Mathematical gossip and conspiracy theories are served up with birdbath-sized martinis and three inch steaks. Domestic relations appear to be governed by Godels Incompleteness Theorem. Yannick Grannecs portrait of the marriage-of-opposites at the heart of the novel is pure genius. --Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind
