“Alive...vivid...heartfelt.” —AO Scott, The New York Times
“A towering accomplishment.” —Theo Baker, New York Times bestselling author of How to Rule the World
A mysterious accident along a country road sparks an awakening and an investigation in Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and acclaimed novelist Ayad Akhtar’s most daring work yet—a visionary novel of spiritual transformation in an age of fracture—“bordering at times on the ineffable” (Mary Gaitskill, bestselling author of Bad Behavior).
When a hit-and-run shatters more than his body, a writer is plunged into a spiritual awakening he can’t tell from madness. In its grip, he’s drawn to a brilliant campus colleague by an uncanny pull, and into a scandal that threatens to destroy them both. What begins as a provocative portrait of academic and cultural warfare deepens into erotic entanglement, the exposure of a family secret, and the mystery surrounding the narrator’s accident—both the violence and its aftermath.
Moving between rural America and Europe, Islam and Christianity, the intimate and the metaphysical, The Radiance is of our American moment and beyond it—asking not only what has broken, but what radiance remains.

"A captivating audiobook about perception, communication, and meaning." —Kirkus Reviews
"Akhtar narrates his novel in which the main character is a writer named Ayad Akhtar. He accepts an offer to teach a creative writing workshop, where he finds himself ensnared in campus politics. Then, a hit-and-run crash, which was possibly a hate crime, and its aftermath result in Akhtar’s perceptions "enlarging," eventually freeing him from the mundane pleasures of sexual desire. This leads him to experience the world in a way that sometimes eludes his ability to articulate. Author Akhtar's voice confidently embodies this layered audiobook's multiple stories and themes perfectly, maintaining the listener's empathy." —Kirkus Reviews
