Often drawing comparisons to Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Michael Chabon's first novel chronicles the final whirlwind summer of Art Bechstein's youth. As the days fly by, Art falls in and out of love with several people, uses other people, confronts his gangster father, and perhaps most importantly, experiences regret. A terrific coming of age novel.

In rural Sicily, a boy is kidnapped after witnessing the brutal murder of his best friend. Surrounded by evil, the boy reveals raw internal strength and wisdom. He finds salvation in the cycle of the seasons, the earth, and animal instincts. Gioia Timpanelli combines ancient storytelling techniques with a modern sensibility.
