A Novel

Edición de la obra The here and now

"Carter Morris, whose sixties youth was full of fiery idealism and passionate romance, has grown into a disillusioned, unfeeling adult who can no longer love and who no longer cares about any issue more significant than the lack of parking spaces. On the brink of an ethically ambiguous sellout that will bring considerable wealth, Carter is set to sign on the dotted line when a past version of himself appears - in reality or in his mind? - to object to what his adult self has become. Carter then undergoes a series of slightly magical experiences that cause him to review his life's choices and to dream of loving life, and knowing love, once more.". "In a story that moves forward and backward in time through a mysterious force that seems determined to save his soul, Carter must face truths about himself that he has tried to dodge. He must find, after many years of separation, his only brother and his childhood best friend as Carter denied their suffering while his own good fortune kept growing. He must stand again face-to-face with the extraordinary woman who should have been the love of his life. Ultimately, Carter Morris must decide whether to lavish his newly acquired wealth on himself or use it to try to make a better world."--BOOK JACKET.
