Beschreibung:
Lorrie Moore, after serving for almost three decades as the Delmore Schwartz Professor in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been named the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. Moore has received numerous grants and awards, from among others: the Lannan Foundation, the National Books Critics Circle, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her most recent novel, A Gate at the Stairs, was shortlisted for the 2010 Orange Prize.
Finn is in the grip of middle-age and on an enforced break from work: it might be that he's 'too emotional' to teach history now. He is living in an America hurtling headlong into hysteria, after all.
High up in a New York hospice, he sits with his beloved brother Max as he slips from one world into the next.
A call from Illinois summons him back to his troubled old flame Lily, the great love of his life. Together, they'll embark on a road trip that opens a trapdoor in reality. Just the two of them, side by side again for one last time, coming to terms with all they meant to each other, and how they might go at what is left of life alone.

A call from Illinois summons him back to his troubled old flame Lily, the great love of his life. Together, they'll embark on a road trip that opens a trapdoor in reality. Just the two of them, side by side again for one last time, coming to terms with all they meant to each other, and how they might go at what is left of life alone.
From one of the most celebrated imaginations in American literature, Lorrie Moore's new novel is a magic box of longing and surprise.
