Tom Connolly's dazzling second novel is a funny, turbulent, and
heartfelt study of male relationships, and a glorious love letter
to the city of New York.It is April in Manhattan and the destinies
of four very different men are about to collide. Nineteen-year-old
Finn has just arrived in the city with his irrepressible and
volatile girlfriend, Dilly, determined to even the score with his
older brother Jack for abandoning him in the UK in the aftermath of
their parents' deaths. Across town, successful gallery owner Leo
Emerson is haunted by loneliness, unsettled by the contrast between
his life and that of his brother-in-law and oldest friend William,
who is enviably contented in his faith and his marriage.When Finn
wanders into Leo's gallery, a series of unexpected and
interconnected events unfold, changing the lives of all four men,
for better or worse. Leo and William's settled existences are
overturned by events outside of their control, while Jack and
Finn's complex relationship reaches its long overdue
showdown.Beautifully orchestrated and richly comic, Men Like Air
explores the romance and solitude of cosmopolitan life, the
transformative power of art, and the impact we have on one
another's lives - and what happens when the ties that bind us are
tested or broken. It is an intense and uplifting story of growth
and renewal, mapping the complex workings of the human heart across
the streets of New York City.
