Told by Enzi, a runaway and laborer who becomes an entrepreneur and a criminal, \\u201cThe Aether and the Lie\\u201d tells the tale of Kaori, an artist from Tokyo who stalks and kills her \\u2018one love,\\u2019 and then confesses through her art. It is also Enzi\\u2019s story, tracing his drifting past and comparing his own failed \\u2018one love\\u2019 to his strange relationship with the artist from Tokyo. It is a story of murders, money buried in the mountains of Montana, a wise bail-bondsman who lives in the back of his truck, revenge, and a thin detective who studied to be an architect but now only draws lines between incorrect assumptions. However, it is not just crime, as the story is infused with nature and solitude, and unwraps the motivations for doing bad things.\\xa0
