Saul and Patsy (bestseller author of the Feast of Love). Charles Baxter482 руб
Both from the East Coast, they met in college, fell in love, and settled down to married life in the Midwest. Five Oaks, Michigan is not exactly where Saul and Patsy meant to end up. On Saul’s initiative (and to his continual dismay) they have moved to this small town–a place so devoid of irony as to be virtually “a museum of earlier American feelings”–where he has taken a job teaching high school. Saul is Jewish and a compulsively inventive worrier; Patsy is gentile and cheerfully pragmatic. It is Gordy who will throw Saul and Patsy’s lives into disarray with an inscrutable act of violence. Soon this brainy and guiltily happy couple will find children have become a part of their lives, first their own baby daughter and then an unloved, unlovable boy named Gordy Himmelman. 2005. As timely as a news flash yet informed by an immemorial understanding of human character, Saul and Patsy is a genuine miracle. |
