- Summary
- The man we know only as Bentley is facing a triple threat{u2014}in other words, his life is a hot mess every way he looks. Like anyone who feels that he{u2019}s on the brink of annihilation, Bentley thinks back to his misspent youth, which was also the year he met his famous grandfather, the painter Philip Bentley, for the first time. To make matters worse, he has inherited his grandfather{u2019}s tendency to self-doubt, as well as that cranky artist{u2019}s old service pistol. Our hero is confused about so much. How did he end up as a cryonics salesman{u2014}a huckster for a dubious afterlife{u2014}when he wanted to be a writer? And who is the mysterious Mary Abraham, and why is she the thread unravelling his unhappy present? What will be left when all the strands come undone? Lee Gowan's new novel is an audacious sequel to Sinclair Ross's prairie classic, As For Me and My House. The Beautiful Place is about a man who is in trouble in love and work -- a darkly funny cautionary tale for our times
