A breakout booklet from Stephen Marche, The Craving for food of the Wolf is a book about just how we live now: a sweeping, genre-busting story of money, morality, and the North american dream--and the men and monsters who income in its pursuit--set in New York, London, and the Canadian wilderness. Hunters found his body naked in the snow. So commences this astonishing new work of literary fiction. The body in the snow is that of Ben Wylie, the heir to America's second-wealthiest business dynasty, and it is found in a remote patch of North Canada. Far away, in postcrash New York, Jamie Cabot, the boy of the Wylie family's housekeepers, must work out how and why Ben passed on. He knows the solution is based on the tortured background of the Wylie family, who, over three decades, developed their significant holdings into several billion us dollars' well worth of real estate, olive oil, and information systems despite an awful family secret they need to keep from the world. The threads of the Wylie men's destinies, both financial and supernatural, lead twistingly but inevitably to the naked body in the snow and a final, chilling revelation. The Craving for food of the Wolf is a book about what it implies to be a man in the world of money. It is a story about fathers and sons, about secrets that are retained within people, and about the price of the tension between the general public face and the private soul. Spanning from the mills of Depression-era Pittsburgh to the swinging London of the 1960s, from desolate Alberta to the factories of present-day China, it is a strong and breathtakingly ambitious work of fiction that uses the storyplot of an individual family to capture just how we live now.
