Description
Classic human follies of desire and ambition foreground a revelatory awakening the planet needs. UFOs in formation in the sky. Vegetation--from cranky houseplants to wise old conifers--telepathically transmit their complaints. A cat gone viral rebels against her influencer caretaker. In California, interconnected strangers find one another, drawn by messy threads of sex and art, their lives falling apart as an extraordinary new reality arises. In this debut novel by Clement Goldberg, classic human follies of desire and ambition foreground a revelatory awakening the planet needs. By turns tender and hilarious, visionary and perceptive, New Mistakes wittily shows us how we live today, and how we might, astonishingly, live tomorrow.
