Book Signing: Greg Fields - Arc of the Comet

Two young men arrive at the same place with vastly different motivations, and their lives intersect through adulthood, revealing truths about themselves as they respond to the expectations we all face.  With themes reminiscent of John Updike’s Rabbit, Run, the trajectories of these two, and those around them, launch in imperfect arcs.  Set in Ireland, Southern California, New Jersey and the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, Arc of the Comet is a lyrical, evocative examination of promise, potential and loss.  The book explores universal themes in a precise, inspired style that builds upon the work of Niall Williams, Colm Toibin and the best of Pat Conroy, who had offered a jacket quote for the book shortly before his death last year.   FICTION
