"Goingis a brilliant novel-a deft, contemplative thriller that probes five lives united by art, chance, and exile. The storyrs"s great themes are erotic, artistic integrity, and death. Its genders are crossed or at war, its night streets and romances equally treacherous, its wit delightfully dark. Yet the engagements with art are profound. And the climax-a stunner-is suffused with justice and light."

This novel, at times somber and at times flaring with intensity, calls up indelibly the difficulties of making a good life - or a good death - in a world in which we are all, in one way or another, going., Heir to an expat literary tradition that includes novels by Ernest Hemingway, Lawrence Durrell, Graham Green, Paul Bowles, and Penelope Lively, Oderman's Going combines a love story and an intrigue in a narrative of surprising twists that illuminate the moral quandaries faced by the main characters. In Granada, a boy in a dress begs in the white alleys of the old town. A runaway and vulnerable, he turns for protection to an American painter, Madeleine James, who is living in the city, and to her new friend, the poet Cy Jacobs. Although the two aedults mean to help the boy, they unwittingly expose him to more peril. Soon, all the characters in the story have been scraped on the touchstone of hard realities and made to show their mettle, be it base or gold., In Granada, a boy in a dress begs in the white alleys of the old town.
