Fall is the story of a late-blooming bully named Charles and his roommate, Julius, whose girlfriend goes missing during their final year of school. From a distance of years, Charles recounts his violently truncated days at boarding school and reveals his unusual admiration for his roommate and his girlfriend. Fall is a psychological thriller and a tragi-comic romance about late adolescent love. It's a novel about the subjectivity of time, and memory; a glimpse of real life in boarding school; and a story about the dangers of imagining who people are.
