A wise and witty novel about the challenges to identity that arise in both adolescence and middle ageâand the student and therapist who just may have the power to save each other.Malcolm Dowd is almost positive he recognizes the freshman who shows up for a session at his office in Baxter Collegeâs Center for Behavioral Healthâhe just canât place her. When suddenly she stands, takes off her wig, and reveals herself as Noah, the young man Malcolm had been treating months earlier, it marks the start of a relationship that will change them both.After losing his wife at a young age, Malcolm dedicated himself to giving his two daughters the stable, predictable childhood he never had. But now nothing is predictableânot his young adult daughters, not himself, and certainly not Noah. Whether heâs attending class or rehearsing for the campus musical, Noah finds heâs often challenging everyoneâs definition of gender. During the course of one semester, Noahâs and Malcolmâs lives become entwined in ways neither could ever have imagined.Told alternately from Malcolmâs and Noahâs perspectives The Listener explores the ways in which we conceal and reveal our identities. As truth after truth is exposed, characters are forced to reconsider themselves and reorder their lives, with few easy answers to be found for anyone. The Listener is, ultimately, about the power of human connection and the many shapes that love can take.
