Feast of Love : a novel / Charles Baxter (2000 Vintage trade paperback)

Description: The Feast of Love : a novel / Charles Baxter. 308 pages ; 8. in. trade paperback. New York : Vintage Books, 2000. "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."National Book Award Finalist • "A superb novel that delicately unearths the myriad manifestations of extraordinary love between ordinary people, from 'one of our most gifted writers' (Chicago Tribune) and the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award. • Subject of a feature film starring Greg Kinnear, Morgan Freeman, and Radha Mitchell. "A near perfect book, as deep as it is broad in its humaneness, comedy and wisdom." —The Washington Post Condition is Very Good. Ships by US Media Mail.
