Off Season - 9780997379143

Long married, amicably divorced, Red and Sharon agree to a winter retreat while she completes her PhD defense and he escapes Chicago winter. Why not enjoy the pleasure of a California beach town off season and spend a little time with their grown sons? What was meant to be a getaway is quickly complicated by a mysterious upstairs landlord, a flirty neighbor who suspects there may be more to their story than they have revealed, and a philosophical retiree who knows more about the landlord than he will share. The gothic shadow of writers and artists like Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, and Vincent Van Gogh, hover over them all as the winds of pandemic blow their way. In prose reminiscent of Meg Wolitzer, Sue Miller, Tessa Hadley, and Mary Gordon, Off Season explores the gray area between devotion and obligation in an age of increasing uncertainty.
