In from the Middle-West, Harold Crist Gardner, known as Harry,
is a good and talented man who has it all in New York City.
Glamorous, fast-track Manhattan; financial independence; success in
creative and challenging work; a beautiful, funny, sensuous working
wife; two, soon-to-be three children (in private school); a trophy
apartment on Central Park West; a house in Easthampton and bright,
brittle, witty and ambitious friends.
But Harry has come to a dark wood in himself. He loses his way.
He is falling apart. In psychological panic, he seeks himself in
alcohol and other women, lots of other women. In scenes so vivid
and visceral, a reader is sure to feel intoxicated too and ready to
not just break, but to shatter the Seventh Commandment.
In this modern day Odyssey, a Dublin night in the city that
never sleeps, Harry struggles against his furies in a riveting,
sharply-funny, murderous (literally) combat. His self-inflicted,
nearly-fatal actions endanger his now-disintegrating beautiful
world.
His soul, in spiritual pain, weighs in the balance and it
writhes to find a way home.
"Pages turn swiftly, the tension increases, as Harry's
ambivalent journey is propelled toward it's destination..." -
Richard Houdek, Critic and Arts Editor, "Berkshire HomeStyle
Magazine"
