Winner
PEN/Hemingway Award
2009

A “discretely charming book … Mr. Dahlie brings a real sweetness to Arthur’s journey.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“This novel strikes me as the American version of The Fall by Camus. Dahlie writes elegantly and beautifully, which does not prevent him from dramatically delving into the raw terrain of the male psychology.”
—Josip Novakovich, author of Infidelities: Stories of War and Lust
