Through the short stories, characters reappear-we see Alice more than once-weaving a tribute to the power of books in our lives, the ways that they can change the way that we see ourselves, each other, the world. Each new section explores the presence of Theo in the life of someone new-the artist who designs the cover, the assistant of the literary agent who discovers it, and myriad readers. Bauermeister’s novel begins with Alice, the author of Theo, exploring the origins of the book, which are connected to her own life, though it’s not completely autobiographical. It’s easiest to explain Erica Bauermeister’s No Two Persons through its premise: the book is a series of interconnected short stories centered around a book called Theo.
