A globe-trotting, century-spanning adventure story, Jake Wolff's The History of Living Forever follows two young men on separate quests for the Elixir of Life. It dives deep into the mysteries of life-from first love to first heartbreak, from the long pall of grief to the irreconcilable loneliness of depression to the possibility of medical miracles, from coming of age to coming out. Hilarious, haunting, heart-busting, life-affirming, it asks each of us one of life's essential questions: How far would you go for someone you love?
