false <![CDATA[Life After Genius]]> 3830153 4 Theodore Mead Fegley has always been the smartest person he knows. By age 12, he was in high school, and by 15 he was attending a top-ranking university. And now, at the tender age of 18, he's on the verge of proving the Riemann Hypothesis, a mathematical equation that has mystified academics for almost 150 years. But only days before graduation, Mead suddenly packs his bags and flees home to rural Illinois. What has caused him to flee remains a mystery to all but Mead and a classmate whose quest for success has turned into a dangerous obession. <BR><BR>At home, Mead finds little solace. His past ghosts haunt him; his parents don't understand the agony his genius has caused him, nor his desire to be a normal kid, and his dreams seem crushed forever. He embarks on a new life's journey -- learning the family business of selling furniture and embalming the dead--that disappoints and surprises all who knew him as "the young Fegley genius."<BR><BR>Equal parts academic thriller and poignant coming-of-age story, LIFE AFTER GENIUS follows the remarkable journey of a young man who must discover that the heart may know what the head hasn't yet learned. 3874812 29 10 2008 Life After Genius total:80|5:12|4:22|3:32|2:11|1:3| 80 269 176 34 4 1 false false Sat Mar 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 07:39:54 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 08 23:04:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Nov 28 13:39:26 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 13:39:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 13:17:33 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 13:21:56 -0800 2008
