The true story of a mathematical mystery, a million-dollar

prize, and the fate of genius in today's world.

In 2006, an eccentric Russian genius named Grigori Perelman solved

Poincare's Conjecture, one of seven great unsolved mathamatical

mysteries, the solution to any of which the Clay Institute, founded

by Boston businessman Landon Clay in 2000 to promote mathematics,

promised a million-dollar prize. It is widely expected that the

first Clay Prize will be awarded to Perelman in October 2009, and

it is equally widely expected that he will decline it. Why?

Masha Gessen set out to find out. In the manner of Nabokov's

Real Life of Sebastian Knight, or more recently and

accessibly, Sylvia Nasar's A Beautiful Mind, or even

Elizabeth Gilbert's The Last American Man, Gessen explores

the nature of Perelma's mind and the reasons for his unusual,

increasingly isolated behavior.

Drawing on interviews with Perelman's teachers, classmates,

coaches, teammates, and colleagues in Russia and the US, Gessen has

constructed a gripping and tragic tale that sheds rare light on the

nature of genius in the modern world.
