Incandesence by Craig Nova
Stargell had it all. A prestigious job at a think tank. A beautiful Greek wife. Money enough to indulge his expensive tastes. Then one day he lost his job for using the think tank s computer to play the horses and his life started taking a very definite turn for the worse. Suddenly he s broke, his wife s going crazy, and a very determined Lower East Side loan shark has his number. In the midst of all this danger and chaos, however, the resilient and darkly comic Stargell pushes his limits, playing it by ear. For Stargell is sustained by those rare moments of redeeming grace when every experience feels vital and valuable, when even the darkest moments and the most soiled landscapes seem to glow with a burning incandescence.Craig Nova has fourteen novels to his credit, all of which have been translated into ten languages. He has received an American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Harper-Saxton Prize (past winners include James Baldwin and Sylvia Plath), many National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship awards, and other honors. His short fiction has appeared in journals such as the Paris Review, Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Men's Journal, and the Best American Short Story series.
