Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. First Edition, First Printing. Signed and dated 5/30/08 by author on title page. The third novel from the author of CHANG AND ENG and THE REAL McCOY is an often satiric page-turner that tracks a Long Island family crisis. Josh Goldin is a happily married TV airtime salesman with an eight-month-old son. When baby Zack is treated twice for mysterious and life-threatening symptoms, the head of a pediatric ICU, Dr. Darlene Stokes, tells Child Protective Services that she thinks Josh's wife, Dori, suffers from Munchausen syndrome, whereby the afflicted injure their children deliberately to draw attention to themselves. The Goldins' ensuing battle to keep Zack provides grist for public debate about issues ranging from parents' rights to race (Dr. Stokes is black, the Goldins Jewish). Strauss takes delight in skewering a world in which everything (news coverage, legal representation, hospital beds) is for sale, sometimes digressively, always amusingly. The stereotypes are intentionally heavy-handed: Josh's perceptions almost always register through race and class-related fear and disgust. But the heart of the story--the unraveling of Josh's life and the steady erosion of his faith that ignorance can be a virtue and happiness a choice--is riveting. 'Darin Strauss has written a novel that is--sentence by sentence, idea for idea--peerlessly brilliant. Here is a supreme, mature novelist at the height of his powers. Take me to the hospital. My jaw has dropped.' {Gary Shteyngart , author of Absurdistan and The Russian Debutante's Handbook.} New, unread copy opened only for signing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. L50/ A3.
