A "New York Times Book Review "Editors' Choice
In September 2000, a young computer programmer comes home from a
festival in the Nevada desert and learns that his grandfather has
died. He must return to Thebes, a town so isolated that its
inhabitants have their own language, and clean out the house where
his family has lived for five generations. While he's there, he
remembers San Francisco in the wild years of the Internet boom, and
begins an ill-advised romance in which past and present are
dangerously confused. Paul la Farge's "Luminous Airplanes" is an
expansive, hugely imaginative, and very funny novel about history,
love, memory, family, flying machines, dance music, and the end of
the world.
