Mark Sarvas, the founder of the popular litblog The Elegant Variation, makes his literary debut with this hilarious and tender story of Harry Rent. Harry is a down-on-his-luck widower who tries to reinvent himself following his wife's untimely death, leading him on a very emotional journey from outrageously misdirected fantasies to the tenuous beginnings of an actual personal transformation. Mark Sarvas's first novel is funny and sad, rueful, wised-up and curiously moving. A remarkable debut. -Booker Prize winner John Banville, bestselling author of The Sea
