Description: The Longitude of Grief by Matthew Daddona Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Matthew Daddonas debut novel, The Longitude of Grief, follows Henry Manero and generations of dispirited loners as they navigate inherited trauma in a kaleidoscopic study of the familial bonds that entangle and entrance us all. Publisher Description "Daddonas immersive debut is both a coming-of-age story and a portrait of a community...There are big ideas aplenty in here-and some bleak moments of moral horror as well. A philosophical, intentionally digressive exploration of masculinity, toxic and otherwise." -Kirkus Reviews Henry Manero wants to grow up. But growing up is seldom the same as moving on. In this poetic and at times philosophical coming-of-age novel, Henry must learn to navigate his inherited guilt and trauma alongside several generations of dispirited loners-among them his absent father, suffering mother, three wild cousins, and bumbling stepfather. When Henry befriends an elderly man, Josef, whose sagaciousness presents new possibilities in life, he wonders if he can escape the trappings of his small town, and of his own mind. Will Henry achieve a newfound sense of self with the help of Josef, or is Josef yet another false star in a constellation of malevolent men with which Henry is surrounded? Combining the lyricism of Justin Torres We the Animals with the kaleidoscopic visions of boyhood in David Mitchells Black Swan Green, Matthew Daddonas debut novel The Longitude of Grief is a tender rumination on the familial bonds that entangle and entrance us all. Author Biography Matthew Daddona is the author of the poetry collection House of Sound, which Publishers Weekly called "ruminative...a glimpse into a mind on the search for answers."
