Description

Within the gentrifying community of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, sits an enormous rose colored condo building named The Astral. For many years it had been the home of the poet Harry Quirk, his wife, Luz, and their two kids: Karina, now a fervent freegan, and Hector, now in the clutches of the cultish Religious neighborhood. Nevertheless when Luz discovers verses that spark her long-simmering accusations of cheating, Harry is summarily started out, making him to think with all the result of his marital, fictional, and parental problems. With great elegance and severe belief, Kate Christensen particulars Harry’s staggering efforts to locate his way back into Luz’s arms—and back to his better self—in a book that's terrifically shifting, and humorous, bittersweet.
