"Happy at work and at home, successful attorney and family man Tim Farnsworth is nevertheless unaccountably compelled to literally walk away from it all - and to continue walking until he collapses in exhaustion. Having suffered through two bouts of this undiagnosable and untreatable illness, his wife knows how to prepare Tim and how to find him, but his compulsion is growing stronger, affecting his work and home life more than ever before. As an allegory for any condition that forcibly takes away an individual's control over his own life - illness, addiction, or even stress - The Unnamed is "utterly compelling" (Booklist)."
