David Selig has spent forty-one years eavesdropping on the human soul.
Born with the lonely gift of telepathy, he has drifted through life as a ghost among the living—plagiarizing term papers by raiding co-eds’ minds, seducing women by anticipating their every desire, and despising the petty, selfish thoughts he cannot help but hear.
Now, like hairline and eyesight, his power is receding.
Each day the voices dim; each silence is a rehearsal for death.
Robert Silverberg’s Nebula- and Hugo-nominated masterpiece is less science fiction than a searing, darkly comic memoir of a man forced to become ordinary.
Set against the backdrop of late-1960s New York—Vietnam protests, campus unrest, sexual revolution—Selig’s interior monologue is a dazzling torrent of literary allusion, guilt, and voyeuristic confession.
By turns erotic, bitter, and heartbreaking, Dying Inside asks what remains of identity when the very faculty that defined it slips away.
Universally hailed as Silverberg’s greatest novel, this is a rare chance to own the book Michael Dirda called “a superb novel about the great shock of middle age—the recognition that we are all dying inside.”
