An personal, suspenseful, and provocative family portrait of a friendly relationship and love at its boundaries, and a well-timed exploration of school tensions and commercial surplus in America When Eli first meets Sam Westergard, he's dazzled by his new friend's charisma, energy, and established interest. Both graduate students in New York City, the two young men connection over their idealism, their love of poetry, and their commitment to socialism, both in theory and used - this last taking the form of an arranged protest against Soline, a giant energy company that has speculated away the careers and savings of thousands. As an Occupy-like group starts to coalesce around him, Eli realizes that a few of his fellow intellectuals are more deeply - and dangerously - devoted to the cause than others. A fiercely intelligent, wonderfully individual illustration of a friendly relationship, empathy, and suspicion amid political upheaval, Ryan McIlvain's new novel confirms him as one of the most talented and distinctive writers at work today.
