"A wonderfully multiple portrait of personal history and family relations. Highly recommended." --Library Journal
"Always in control, despite the proliferating points of view he manipulates, Wright (After Gregory) has assembled an intricate mosaic of a novel. . . . Wright packs this novel with dazzling formal gambits, including letters to God, do-lists and university memos. In the process, he not only creates a detailed portrait of a family but also raises profound questions about how a life is to be measured." --Publishers Weekly
From the author of the lost masterpiece, Tony and Susan, comes a brilliant, cacophonous novel of families, failings and fatal flaws.
