In cool, precise prose, written as both a detective story and a meditation on the seven deadly sins, Haskell tells a story that ranges from the brownstones of New York City to the sandy beaches of Southern California. The novel follows the journey of a man whose object of desire is both heartbreaking and ephemeral, and confirms John Haskell's reputation as one of those rare authors who makes language seem limitless in its possibilities (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Haskell\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a short-story collection, \u003ci\u003eI Am Not Jackson Pollock\u003c\/i\u003e.
