This is the story of two men who first become friends in 1970s New York, of the women in their lives, & of their sons, born the same year. Both Leo Hertzberg, an art historian, & Bill Weschler, a painter, are cultured, decent men, but neither is equipped to deal with what happens to their children
- Leo's son drowns when he's 12, while Bill's son Mark grows up to be a delinquent, & the acolyte of a sinister, guru-like artist who spawns murder in his wake.

This flipback book has pages & is 8.2cm x 11.9cm x 1.2cm

who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
