20087118-10.3022Content appears as new unopened unread and unblemished with fine dark blue cloth covered boards in DJ displaying some surface/edge wear as shown. Large repaired clean tear on face.Synopsis: A glacially paced novel of modern manners and mayhem its chief elements being middle-aged angst mass murder and pizza. Like Jack Torrance of Stephen King's The Shining Caelum Quirk is a man of ambition who moved to Colorado to find his fortune and wound up teaching creative writing to the unwilling. At the beginning of the book we learn that Caelum's wife Maureen has been engaging in certain extracurricular activities. While Caelum does not take an ax to the offending parties he is consigned to the hell of anger-management courses all the same. For her part Maureen discovers horror when violence erupts at the school where she works—namely Columbine High in the tidy Denver suburb of Littleton. Caelum a teacher is absent attending to a sick aunt across the country. While doing so and over the course of much time and much talk among many characters Maureen reckons with having become unhinged while Caelum discovers ominous clippings in the family archive. Lamb I Know This Much Is True 1998 etc. writes at considerable leisure about all this; indeed the gunfire starts 150 pages into the narrative. Meanwhile and after there is much pondering. Lamb knows how to put together a good meaning-charged sentence "I've stalked the monster during long meditative runs on country roads at the bottoms of wine and scotch bottles and over the Internet that labyrinth inside the labyrinth" but there are plenty of clunkers too. Moreover the takeaway point isn't quite clear: Lamb seems to be suggesting that inside every one of us or at least every family there's a Dylan Klebold screaming to get out and plenty of skeletons for too few closets.A clearer focus and a forgone subplot or two would have helped. Of interest however as an entry in the body of literature that has emerged from real tragedy.Insurance & handling is included free.
