Product Information
Susan Palwick, author of the remarkable "Flying in Place," now returns with a compelling new novel of a family cast out of an idyllic realm, learning to live in our own troubled world. With its richly imagined portrayal of a lost culture, complete with poetry and fables, traditions and customs, and its searing yet sympathetic view of own society as seen through new eyes, "The Necessary Beggar" is an compelling examination of humanity and the redemptive power of love, in the spirit of Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Dispossessed "and Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," Le mabantunk, the Glorious City, is a place of peace and plenty, of festivals and flowers, bejeweled streets and glittering waterfalls. But it is also a land of severe justice. Darroti, a young merchant, has been accused of an unforgiveable crime - the brutal murder a highborn woman. Now, in keeping with the customs of their world, his entire family must share in his punishment - exile to the unknown world that lies beyond a mysterious gate. Passing through that gate, and grieving for the life they leave behind, Darroti and his family find themselves in a harsh and hostile land - America just a few years hence, a country under attack in a world torn by hatred and warfare. Unable to explain their origin, they are rapidly remanded to an internment camp in the Nevada desert, along with thousands of other refugees. There they endeavor to make sense of this ill-fated land where strange gods are worshipped, and living things like flowers and insects are not respected. After Darroti, unable to bear his disgrace, takeshis life, the rest of the family escapes to the outside world. There, each tries to cope in their own way. Timbor, the head of the clan, troubled by the restless spirit of his departed son who comes to him in dreams, does his best to preserve the old ways, and avoid conflict with the outsiders. His eldest son Masofo, who calls himself Max, is lured by the worldly temptations of this new world, while his second son, Erolorit, strives to make a decent life for his family. But it is Timor's granddaughter, Zamatryna, who is the quickest to adjust to this strange new world. It is she who is the first to learn its language, to adopt its customs, to accept this place as her new home. And, as the strain of adapting themselves to this new life begins to tear the family apart, it is Zama, sustained by the extraordinary love of an ordinary young man, who finds a way to heal their grief and give them new hope.

Reviews
Praise for Susan Palwick "Packs a huge emotional wallop... Flying in Place is a brave and honest work, an impressive and important debut." -- San Francisco Examiner "Unflinching clarity and great dramatic power...Susan Palwick, a young writer who has hitherto attracted some notice for her stories, poems, and essays, is with Flying in Place a novelist of moment." -- Newsday "One of the best and most moving novels by a new author I have read in years." --Alison Lurie on Flying in Place "I read it in one night and a morning train trip, arriving for work dazed, distracted and drinking in the last few pages. It is a deeply moving book. Palwick's withering understatements of pain are laced with a regret for the lost magic of childhood--even a ruined childhood." --Geoff Ryman on Flying in Place " Flying in Place is a bittersweet novel of a dead sister who returns to give our narrator the tools she need to break her family out of the poisonous pattern that is consuming them all. ... beautifully handled ... a wonderful debut for a writer who has proved she can write well in long forms as well as short ones -- may it be the first of many novels from Palwick, each one better than the ones before." - Orson Scott Card "Flying in Place is compelling, wrapping deep-empathy insights in lyric poetry to show us the monster behind the mask."--Andrew Vachss, Praise for Susan Palwick "Packs a huge emotional wallop...
