«Good Benito» is Alan Lightman's novel, published by Sceptre in paperback (215 pages, in English).
Bennett, a physics professor, grew up among homemade rockets and experiments, knowing he would devote his life to science. That certainty shatters: the emptiness and his inability to confront the contradictions of his life —the maid who loves him, the absent father, the wife who provokes his cruelty— lead him to oscillate between reason and intuition.
Published in February 1996, it is Alan Lightman's second work of fiction, after «Einstein's Dreams».
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and coming-of-age stories with a scientific background.
Alan Paige Lightman is an American physicist, writer, and social entrepreneur. He has served on the faculties of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently a professor of the practice of the humanities at MIT. He is a contributing writer for The Atlantic magazine.
