The Infinities by John Banville
On a languid midsummer's day in the countryside, the Godley family gathers at the bedside of Adam, a renowned mathematician and their patriarch. But they are not alone in their vigil. Around them hovers a clan of mischievous immortals--Zeus, Pan, and Hermes among them --who begin to stir up trouble for the Godleys, to sometimes wildly unintended effect. The Infinities--John Banville's first novel since his Booker Prize-winning and bestselling The Sea--is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human.
John Banville was born in the Irish town of Wexford in 1945. He has won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the GuardianFiction Prize, and the Lannan Literary Award for Writing for his previous thirteen works. He is based in Dublin.
