Description

Chosen from the National Book Foundation for their first-ever "5 Under 35" recognition, Amity Gaige returns with a bold and luminous new novel.Acclaimed for her beautiful writing and crystalline observations, Amity Gaige returns with The Collapsed Globe, the tale of an idealistic young social worker attracted in to the lives of his mentally-ill consumers. Charlie Tone was created right into a peaceful, affluent existence, but he is dogged by a sense of injustice. He seems meant to abandon his life of "washing and bakery," to work rather with people in crisis. On his way, he fulfills his kindred character in Alice, a soulful young lady, residing helplessly by-laws of youth superstition.
