Description

In the PEN/Faulkner Award–winning writer of The Truly Amazing Guy, a novel of loss, love, and literary competition occur quickly changing Brooklyn. The Astral is just a large rose colored previous heap of an apart­ment building within the gentrifying community of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. For many years it had been the content house (approximately he believed) of the poet Harry Quirk and his wife, Luz, a nurse, and of the two kids: Karina, now a fer­vent freegan, and Hector, now in the clutches of the cultish Religious neighborhood. But Luz has discovered (and ruined) some verses of Harry’s that spark her long-simmering sus­picions of cheating, and he’s been summarily expelled out.
