“Adams writes with equal parts wit and heart. He has that George Saunders knack to keep me giggling and flipping pages, and then suddenly, he sneaks up with visceral poignancy. This book is a blast.” —Joshua Mohr, author of Model Citizen

“Relativity is a sharp, witty careening ride of a novel about three middle-aged men coming to terms with what they want—and don’t—from their lives. Insightful, compassionate, and compulsively readable.” —Stephanie Reents, author of The Kissing List

“Ben Adams has crafted a captivating tale of comedy, tragedy, love, friendship, and flamethrowers set in the American Midwest. An aspiring physics trailblazer who works in a retirement home, a nerdy chemistry professor obsessed with extraterrestrial women, and a hard-drinking car dealership owner find common cause in responding to their interconnected personal crises. At turns moving and humorous, and always engrossing, Relativity is a truly enjoyable read.” —Arthur Shattuck O'Keefe, author of The Spirit Phone
