}}We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves is a 2013 novel by the American writer Karen Joy Fowler. The novel won the 2014 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction[1] and was also short-listed for the 2014 Man Booker Prize.[2]

Plot

Rosemary, while attending U.C. Davis in her early twenties, reflects on her early life in Indiana. She lived with her sister Fern, brother Lowell, mother, and father who is professor of behavioral psychology at Indiana University Bloomington. When Fern disappears one day, Lowell runs away from home in search of her. Rosemary also learns that her university has a secret that ties to her past, and as she learns more, she discovers a newfound connection with her family.

Reception

The novel has received mostly positive reviews. Writing for The New York Times, Barbara Kingsolver says the "novel [is] so readably juicy and surreptitiously smart [that] it deserves all the attention it can get."[3] Ron Charles, writing for The Washington Post, remarks that "Fowler manages to subsume any polemical motive within an unsettling, emotionally complex story."[4] Maureen Corrigan, writing for NPR, says the novel is "witty but emotionally and intellectually riskier [than Fowler's previous novels]."[5]
