From the Publisher: “All the great themes… sibling rivalry, generational conflict, birth, death, and the magical, miserable phenomenon of love… The beauty of Taylor’s language ratchets up and down from lyrical exposition to hardscrabble dialogue. His elaborate idiom allows him to sound certain metaphysical depths, to explore what he calls ‘the abyss of humanness into which we reach, not knowing where the bottom lies.'” —Newsday”
