內容簡介
"D'Erasmo moves to the top of her craft with "The Sky Below,"" said "Town and Country," and many others have joined the chorus of critical acclaim for her newest novel, in part inspired by Ovid, which illuminates the myths that underlie our everyday lives.At thirty-seven, Gabriel Collins works halfheartedly as an obituary writer at a fading newspaper in lower Manhattan, which, since 9/11, feels like a city of the dead. This once dreamy and appealing boy has turned from a rebellious adolescent to an adult who trades in petty crimes. His wealthy, older boyfriend is indulgent of him--to a point. But after a brush with his own mortality, Gabriel must flee to Mexico in order to put himself back together. By the novel's end, we know all of Gabriel's ratty little secrets, but by dint of D'Erasmo's spectacular writing, we exult in the story of an imperfect man who--tested by a world that is often too much for him--rises to meet the challenge.
