Synopsis
In cool, precise prose, written as both a detective story and a meditation on the seven deadly sins, Haskell tells a story that is by turns tragic and comic, compassionate and gripping., American Purgatorio is the story of a happily married man who discovers, as he walks out of a convenience store, that his wife has suddenly vanished. In cool, precise prose, written as both a detective story and a meditation on the seven deadly sins, Haskell tells a story that ranges from the brownstones of New York City to the sandy beaches of Southern California. The novel follows the journey of a man whose object of desire is both heartbreaking and ephemeral, and confirms John Haskell's reputation as "one of those rare authors who makes language seem limitless in its possibilities" ( Los Angeles Times ).

- a***0 (29)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItems arrived in good condition as shown and described by the seller. Wasn’t the right fit unfortunately but that had nothing to do with seller and I took the chance on the fitment. Wish I could exchange but understand why it wasn’t optional and it was stated in the description so no surprises there. Overall the transaction and receiving process was a good experience.HUNTER VINTAGE CEILING FAN USED PARTS - VERY GOOD 5 BLADES - 21" LONG (#145952596705)
