Synopsis "The Permission"

A geneticist announces she has developed a test for consciousness. Approximately twelve percent of the global population tests negative. They are, by every measurable standard, not people.

Joel Brennan is thirty years old. He pours concrete for a living. He stands in his daughter's doorway at night and listens to her breathe. He knows what he is.

The test says otherwise.

THE PERMISSION follows one man through the year that follows - the loss of his job, his insurance, his bank account, his children's school, his place in his own home - as a society that has been handed a scientific verdict decides, with quiet efficiency, what to do with the people the verdict covers. It is a novel about what ordinary life looks like when the ground beneath it shifts by inches. About what a marriage holds when the world tells one of the people in it that they are not real. About a friendship between two men navigating the same water in the only ways they know how.

Told in close, precise, devastating prose, THE PERMISSION is a literary speculative novel about an ordinary American town, a husband and father who will not be erased, and a question the world has quietly been waiting to be given permission to ask: who counts, and who gets to decide.

For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro (Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun), José Saramago (Blindness), Margaret Atwood, and Naomi Alderman.

THE PERMISSION asks what it takes to unmake a person - and whether the answer has ever required the justification it claims to need.
