In Uncertain Lives, Joram Piatigorsky weaves a richly layered literary novel about friendship, identity, and the shifting boundary between reality and imagination.

Angela, a journalist, has spent a lifetime in the orbit of her brilliant and enigmatic friend, Devra—a scientist, a loner, and a woman who has always resisted being fully known. When Devra, now in failing health, allows Angela access to her private writings—stories, essays, reflections—a new and unexpected narrative unfolds.

As Angela sets out to write Devra’s biography, she is drawn into a labyrinth of ideas and inner worlds. Devra’s writings challenge everything Angela believes about memory, truth, and the self: Are we singular, coherent individuals—or collections of competing identities shaped by chance, perception, and desire?

Through a seamless interplay of narrative voices and embedded stories, Uncertain Lives becomes both an intimate portrait of a lifelong friendship and a profound exploration of the human mind.

At once philosophical and deeply human, this is a novel for readers who are drawn to searching questions, emotional complexity, and the beautiful uncertainty at the heart of existence.

“Uncertainty, like hope, leaves the door open for a miracle to slip through” —Alison

“. . . a caring, searching novel, at once the story of a lifelong friendship and a brilliant rumination on how we come to know others and ourselves.” —Author Zach Powers, The Migraine Diaries and First Cosmic Velocity

On the surface . . . an engrossing tale about two women seemingly sisters but fiercely competitive, one a scientist . . . and the other a journalist struggling to write a biographical novel. On a deeper level the tensions of the . . . relationship between art and reality, are brought into an engrossing new and sharp perspective. —Author Janice L. Ross

Fresh from college, Regina is determined to make her mark as a scientist—but she can’t escape the vivid, private universe of her imagination. Drawn into a decades-old controversy that tarnished her family’s name, she sets out to redeem her grandfather, Roger, a 90-year-old retired scientist whose radical theory that thoughts can be transmitted like viruses was dismissed as fantasy and her ancestor Ricardo, condemned for daring to claim that jellyfish can visualize evolution.

When Regina digs deeper, she uncovers a haunting mystery: the deadly explosion known as The Obliteration, which destroyed Grandpa Roger’s research institution thirty years ago. As she dares to ask the questions others are too afraid to, Regina blurs the line between fact and speculation—and in doing so, she discovers that imagination might just be the key to unlocking the future of science itself.

While I never set out to be a collector of Inuit art, it’s been exciting to see what started as an attraction become a passion and develop over 35 years into a collection. In a way, it’s like raising a child and seeing the child develop into a successful, independent life of its own. In addition to the many blogs I’ve written about my Inuit art collection, I launched a website — InuitBeautiful.com — last year to share the collection. I hope you’ll join me here and on InuitBeautiful.com to explore the beautiful and fascinating art of the Inuit.

You can scratch at the surface but the tingle to dig deeper is always there. And can’t be ignored, even in retirement. Or should I say, particularly in retirement!

I spent close to 50 years in science as a molecular biologist and eye researcher, first at Caltech as a graduate student from 1962 to 1967, and then at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In 1981, I founded the Laboratory of Molecular and Developmental Biology at the National Eye Institute and served as its chief until 2009, when I closed my laboratory and became a Scientist Emeritus, an NIH position I hold presently.

My passion for science and basic research — which I see as destination-free research, as well as my gratitude to the National Eye Institute (NEI) — led me to establish a science award at NEI to encourage scientist to go where their research led them.
