The premise of J. Robert Lennon's new novel, "Familiar," reads like a thought experiment: If you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe, in a life similar to but not quite the same as your own, how would you react? Embedded within that premise are deeper, thornier philosophical implications: How much control do we have over our circumstances?
