LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FOR FICTION"In this extraordinary novel, Castleberry brilliantly hopscotches from person to person, from era to era, while somehow making all this fancy footwork look effortless and essential." - Jenny Offill, author of Department of Speculation and WeatherA luminous debut novel in the tradition of DeLillo and Egan, chronicling the eerily intersecting lives of a series of American dreamerswhose unforeseen links reveal the divided heart of a haunted nation--and the batteredgrace that might lead to its salvationJune 26, 1947. Headlines across America report the sighting of ninepulsating lights flying over the Cascade Mountains at speeds surpassing anyaircraft. In Chicago, inspired by the news, Oliver Danville, a failed actor nowreduced to a mediocre pool hustler, hitchhikes west in a fever-dream quest fora possible sign from above that might illuminate his true calling. A chanceencounter with Saul Penrod, an Idaho farmer, and his family sets in motion thebirth of "the Seekers"--a collective of outcasts, interlopers, and idealists devotedto creating a society where divisions of race, ethnicity, and sexuality are athing of the past. When Claudette Donen, a waitress on the lam from hersuffocating family, encounters the group, she is compulsively drawn to Oliver'ssister Eileen, but before she is able to join the enigmatic community, it hasvanished. Reunited across the country, the Seekers attempt to settle in thesuburbs of Long Island. One night, their purpose suddenly revealed, a stranger emerges, and a horrific crime ensues. In the decades that follow, the perpetrators, survivors, and their children will be forced to face the consequences of whathappened--a reckoning that will involve Charlie Ranagan, a traveling salesman; MaxFelt, a dissolute late-1960s rock star; Alice Linwood, an increasingly paranoidradio host; Stanley West, a struggling African American poet; Marly Feldberg, aGreenwich Village painter; and Debbie Vasquez, a Connecticut teenager trappedby an avalanche of midnight legacies. Each will prove to be a piece of a puzzlethat, when assembled, reveals a shocking truth about the clash between theoptimism of those who seek inspiration from spacious skies, and the venom ofothers who relish the underworld--not only via conspiratorial maneuverings, but theliteral unearthing of the dead. The result is one of the most exciting, andunforgettable, debut novels in recent memory, and the launch of a major careerin American letters.
