Years late, Orno Tarcher would think of his days in New York as a seduction. A seduction and a near miss, a time when his memory of the world around him - the shining stone stairwells, the taxi cabs,the sea of nighttime lights - was glinting and of heroic proportions. Like a dream.

So begins this stunning novel about two young men, vastly different and from opposite worlds, who meet at Columbia University. Orno Tarcher arrives in New York City from a small town in Missouri, feeling unsophisticated, already behind, and tired of his family's bedrock values.

He meets Marshall Emerson, a seductive and brilliant New Yorker from a wordly family, who has a photogrpahic memory and gets straight A's without opening a book yet lives always on the edge.

As the novel follows the course of these men's lives, women and work - Marshall moves to Hollywood and becomes a screenwriter, while Orno follows a more mundane path - Ethan Canin explores the conflicts of character that mark the heart of every life.
