Product Information

In his first novel since the Booker Prize-winning The Sea, John Banville gives us a dazzling new book that chronicles both a human family and a rather unholy gathering of immortals. On a languid midsummer's day, old Adam Godley, a renowned theoretical mathematician, is dying. His family gathers at his bedside: his son, young Adam, struggling to maintain his marriage to a radiantly beautiful actress; his nineteen-year-old daughter, Petra, filled with voices and visions as she waits for the inevitable; their stepmother, Ursula, whose relations with the Godley children are strained at best; Petra's young man--perhaps more interested in the father than the daughter--who has arrived for an untimely visit. And around the Godley family hover the mischievous gods: among them, Zeus, who has his eye on young Adam's wife, and Hermes, our narrator: We too are petty and vindictive, he tells us, just like you, when we are put to it. As old Adam's days on earth start to run out, these unearthly beings start to stir up trouble, to sometimes unintended effect . . . Blissfully inventive and playful, rich in psychological insight and sensual detail, The Infinities is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human.

Reviews
"Banville is, without question, one of the great living masters of English-language prose.The Infinitiesis a dazzling example of that mastery, as well as of the formal daring and slyly erudite humor that makes his novels among the most rewarding available to readers today . . .The Infinitiessurely will delight his many well-deserved admirers." -Los Angeles Times "Outstanding . . . It may be one of the 12 best books of the decade, or even several decades . . . This is unequivocally a work of brilliance." -Spectator(UK) "ReadingThe Infinities,I fell under some kind of spell, mesmerized by its shimmering language, overflow of ideas and heady illusions to metaphysics, Greek mythology, Shakespeare, and even quantum mechanics . . . A gloriously rich and strange novel, as ambitious in its reach as it is delightful to read. This god has outdone himself." -Newsday "Banville is frequently compared to such masters as Beckett and Nabokov, and for years his books have been among the most haunting, beautiful and downright strange in contemporary literature . . . If Banville is capable of writing an unmemorable sentence, he has successfully concealed the evidence . . . The real subject of this unforgettable, beautifully written book is nothing less than the enigma of mortal existence." -Washington Post   "Composing his scenes like painterly tableaux shot through with emotion and possibility, Banville achieves real depth in this alternately grave and bawdy exploration of the nature of time, the legacy of grief, and the costs and sources of inspiration . . . Entrancing." -San Francisco Chronicle   "Banville's best and brightest work . . . Masterful." -Bookforum "There's a cast of supporting characters worthy of a modern-day Shakespeare; bathetic descriptions of using the lavatory that would have had Beckett smiling; and the gods' playful pursuit of women that could be lifted straight from Ovid'sThe Art of Love.Banville, already esteemed for the brilliance of his language, proves in this novel to have a mastery, too, of these many colliding universes." -Independent on Sunday(UK) "John Banville seems incapable of writing an inelegant sentence . . .A Midsummer Night's Dreamof a story . . . Pure pleasure." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune   "The Infinitiesis a Beethoven string quartet of a novel. It deals with huge ideas-plenty of them-and in doing so, breaks new ground in its own medium . . . A masterpiece of a book." -Daily Telegraph (UK) "The Infinitiesis rife with mischief, as well as godly/authorial omniscience, irony and wordplay, but what warms and anchors it is its humanity." -Miami Herald    "A narrative of almost discomfiting lushness and awe-inspiring powers of observation . . . And yet the brilliance of Banville's writing rests in something other than its sophisticated intellect or its narrative poetry. What keeps us reading is this magical writer's superlative gift for limning the essence of our own humanity in all its ungodly imperfection." -Bookpage   "This new book,The Infinities,borders on the divine-mysterious, warm-hearted, and elegant, with traces of such literary gods as Vladimir Nabokov and fellow Irishman Oscar Wilde . . . The gods, they must be happy with Mr. Banville." -Boston Phoenix   "Spellbinding." -Financial Times   "A beautiful, immersive read,
