Jack Gorse now lives in a Buddhist monastery in Vermont. Previously he led a secluded, ritualistic life in a small rent-controlled apartment in NYC. An eviction notice and his relationship with a photographer sent to take pictures of his apartment upend his existence and set him on the path to the monastery—the last place he feels he can find respite.

I was fortunate enough to see an ARC of this wonderful debut by Pamela Erens (my review is forthcoming in Rain Taxi). It follows converging stories about a troubled young man in New York City that uses the Central Park ecosystem as a beautiful metaphor for human interdependence.
