When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New
York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by
their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an
aspiring actor, JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born
painter seeking entry to the art world, Malcolm, a frustrated
architect at a prominent firm, and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic
Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity. Over the decades,
their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction,
success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to
realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented
litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred
by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a
degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but
that will define his life for ever. Part of the Picador Collection,
a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
