Now, his second novel departs from Leaving the Atocha Station's exquisite ironies in order to explore new territories of thought and feeling. In the last year, the narrator of 10:04 has enjoyed unexpected literary success, has been diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition, and has been asked by his best friend to help her conceive a child, despite his dating a rising star in the visual arts. In a New York of increasingly frequent super storms and political unrest, he must reckon with his biological mortality, the possibility of a literary afterlife, and the prospect of (unconventional) fatherhood in a city that might soon be under water. In prose that Jonathan Franzen has called "hilarious. cracklingly intelligent. and original in every sentence," Lerner captures what it's like to be alive now, when the difficulty of imagining a future has changed our relation to our present and our past. Exploring sex, friendship, medicine, memory, art, and politics, 10:04 is both a riveting work of fiction and a brilliant examination of the role fiction plays in our lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mortality $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fatherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821688 650 7 $a Fatherhood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921848 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Mortality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026502 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20191024010651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5BEA64ADF5911E9BD2BF46B97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
