by Andrew Sean Greer (Author)
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost comes The Path of Minor Planets, an exploration of chances taken and lost, of love found and broken, and of time's subtle gravitational pull on the lives of everyday and extraordinary people.
In 1965, on a small island in the South Pacific, a group of astronomers gather to witness the passing of a comet, but when a young boy dies during a meteor shower, the lives of the scientists and their loved ones change in subtle yet profound ways. Denise struggles for respect in her professional life, married Eli becomes increasingly attracted to Denise and her quixotic mind, and young Lydia attempts to escape the scientists' long-casting shadows. Praise for The Path of Minor Planets "Greer pinpoints the 'tiny hidden madnesses in ordinary people' with unerring accuracy, and, in prose littered with sparks, makes palpable the longing for the celestial." ―The New Yorker "Greer successfully captures the spirits of both men and women here, and manages to hold a great deal together without slipping . . . A strong vision so consistently gorgeous." ―Kirkus ReviewsAuthor Biography
