Description
Howard Jacobson—Booker Prize winner and one of British literary fiction's sharpest and most philosophically engaged voices—delivers another formally accomplished and morally serious novel that takes the reader into the complicated territory of love, loss, and the survival of feeling in the lives of people who have lived long enough to understand what endures and what doesn't. Written with his characteristic verbal brilliance and his genuine willingness to take difficult emotional and intellectual territory seriously, this is essential reading for every admirer of Jacobson's remarkable body of work. An important and deeply felt novel.
