About this product
Product Information
From "one of our most gifted writers" (Chicago Tribune), here is a superb new novel that delicately unearths the myriad manifestations of extraordinary love between ordinary people. The Feast of Love is just that -- a sumptuous work of fiction about the thing that most distracts and delights us. In a re-imagined Midsummer Night's Dream, men and women speak of and desire their ideal mates; parents seek out their lost children; adult children try to come to terms with their own parents and, in some cases, find new ones. In vignettes both comic and sexy, the owner of a coffee shop recalls the day his first wife seemed to achieve a moment of simple perfection, while she remembers the women's softball game during which she was stricken by the beauty of the shortstop. A young couple spends hours at the coffee shop fueling the idea of their fierce love. A professor of philosophy, stopping by for a cup of coffee, makes a valiant attempt to explain what he knows to be the inexplicable workings of the human heart Their voices resonate with each other -- disparate people joined by the meanderings of love -- and come together in a tapestry that depicts the most irresistible arena of life. Crafted with subtlety, grace, and power, The Feast of Love is a masterful novel. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Reviews
"Rich, strange, alive with the miracles of daily life, this novel is a banquet for the soul. So many wonderful characters, all of whom I came to cherish as I watched them intersecting, the initial configurations of love reconfiguring themselves by the end. Truly, this is a novel in which the unexpected is always upon us." --Andrea Barrett, author ofShip FeverandThe Voyage of the Narwhal "The Feast of Loveis hilarious and at the same time desperately sad, full of wit and poetry and exquisitely observed perceptions of the human condition, erudite and streetwise at once. It conveys the delicacy, the violence, the salvation, and the destruction of love. What a brilliant, powerful novel!" --Alan Lightman, author ofEinstein's Dreams "Never have I read a novel and wanted, immediately, to reread it, as I did withThe Feast of Love. Emotionally, intellectually, in all the ways that the very best literature attends us, Baxter's brilliant symphony of love, loss, memory, and astonishing metaphysical boldness is a complete sustenance, a perfect invention. His passionate writing raises the level of regard for life itself, let alone the art of writing.The Feast of Lovedeserves all lasting attention and great praise." --Howard Norman, author ofThe Bird Artist
