Description
In this loosely affiliated follow-up to Arroyo, Jacobs' bestselling debut novel, two classmates at a historic, Southern California prep school lean on each other to survive, as the testosterone-saturated campus switches over their senior year from all-boys to coed. Welding them closer: stormy home lives in the shadows of "great" fathers unable to be good. When Luke Farkas, a hard-charging journalist under investigation himself, and Denny Drummond, a mercurial software-engineer "about" to discover cloud computing, reconnect in 2000, neither is who they seem, imposters to their own unique potential.
After Denny is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Luke tries expunging pent-up demons by aiding his dying friend, until Denny's keyboard machinations are revealed. In the climax, fate rolls the dice, offering the estranged pals a chance at a legacy-making revelation far bigger than any prep-school glory. Narrated by Luke, Later Days, sprinkles into the drama dollops of humor, absurd reality, and magical realism, but feel less expansive and tongue-in-cheek than Jacobs' previous novel.Later Days will appeal to readers fascinated by ruptured parent-child relationships, friendship rollercoasters, the oscillating currency of forgiveness, and near-death experience. Those interested in the secret histories of Caltech, the Pasadena area, gender as culture shock, and the darkly entertaining late seventies will find Later Days intriguing and exploratory.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
