And Sons

by David Gilbert
RM44.48 MYR
And Sons - Thryft
And Sons - Thryft

Panoramic & insightful novel about families

"& Sons is a daring feat of fiction that explores complex family dynamics and how they shape us. Through the story of an iconic novelist, his three sons, and two interconnected families, David Gilbert weaves a deeply affecting tale that will resonate with readers of Jonathan Franzen and Claire Messud. The book's most distinctive feature is its layered, almost Proustian detail in conjuring up the characters' memories. It is a smart, engrossing saga that is both funny and heart-wrenching, infused with warmth and wisdom about what it means to be a family."

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The funeral of Charles Henry Topping on Manhattan’s Upper East Side would have been a minor affair (his two-hundred-word obit in The New York Times notwithstanding) 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—before it’s too late. So begins a wild, transformative, heartbreaking week, as witnessed by Philip Topping, who, like his late father, finds himself caught up in the swirl of the Dyer family. First there’s son Richard, a struggling screenwriter and father, returning from self-imposed exile in California. In the middle lingers Jamie, settled in Brooklyn after his twenty-year mission of making documentaries about human suffering. And last is Andy, the half brother whose mysterious birth tore the Dyers apart seventeen years ago, now in New York on spring break, determined to lose his virginity before returning to the prestigious New England boarding school that inspired Ampersand. But only when the real purpose of this reunion comes to light do these sons realize just how much is at stake, not only for their father but for themselves and three generations of their family.
