The father is so incapable of forgiveness he puts a gun in his son's mouth; the mother so shattered, she deserts the family and eventually takes leave of her sanity altogether; the son--only 17 years old at the time--sets out for New York City. There, he seeks an uneasy refuge in books and reinvents himself as a writer. Across the decade and a half that follows he tries to cope with the ramifications of his own anguish and estrangement while making a desperate search for redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942115541280,"sku":"NEW0571211321","price":18.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nocturne-a-play-0571211321","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
