08.08: David Gilbert

The funeral of Charles Henry Topping on Manhattan's Upper East Side would have been a minor affair but for the presence of one particular mourner: the notoriously reclusive author A. N. Dyer, whose novel Ampersand stands as a classic of American teenage angst. But as Andrew Newbold Dyer delivers the eulogy for his oldest friend, he suffers a breakdown over the life he's led and the people he's hurt and the novel that will forever endure as his legacy. He must gather his three sons for the first time in many years. In this daring feat of fiction, David Gilbert establishes himself as one of our most original, entertaining, and insightful authors. And Sons (Random House) is a startlingly imaginative novel about families and how they define us, and the choices we make when faced with our own mortality. Gilbert will be joined in conversation by Amanda Coplin, author of The Orchardist.
