Is this the best of all possible worlds? In Gottlieb'sFolly, Gottlieb proposes to create a world without sorrow. In an atmosphere of genius and wealth, the failed old man confronts his brilliant autistic son who is interested in creating a world as an experiment in fusion where he can experiment with how changes in weather, earthquakes, volcanoes affect life. The Gottlieb family is the poster family for dysfunction. Disappointment, contempt, adultery, rape. The world created by the genius son. is turned off by his novelist brother who wonders if he is guilty of murdering its population. There are challenges of class, religion, and deception throughout the book. Available at www.amazon.com and by bookstore order. There is a Kindle edition. |
