Summary

From one of the most celebrated imaginations in American literature, Lorrie Moore's new novel is a magic box of longing and surprise.

High up in a New York City hospice, Finn sits with his beloved brother Max, who is slipping from one world into the next. But when a phone call summons Finn back to a troubled old flame, a strange journey begins, opening a trapdoor in reality. It will prompt a questioning of life and death, grief and the past, comedy and tragedy, and the diaphanous separations that lie between them all.

Perplexing (in a good way)

I enjoyed this, and it made me think, which most modern novels do not.

There were a lot of anachronisms, which confuse because they are no longer relevant (e.g. there is a poetic description of the old fashioned method for proving you aren't a robot). There were lots of references which I missed because they refer to unnecessarily to American politics.

Overall though, I loved the language and the quirkiness of this, and can say that if you have read other novels by the writer, you know what to expect here.

It was never quite as moving or as provocative as it was trying to be, though.
