Again and Again

From one of the greatest, most creative novelists working today comes Again and Again, a compact ode to love found, lost, and yearned for

Geno is living out his final days in a nursing home, bored, curmudgeonly, and struggling to connect with his nursing assistant, Angel, whom he sees as being different from him in every way possible, and unable to understand him in any way.

Perhaps no one really can, since he’s been saying that he’s not just Geno—in fact, he’s lived many past lives, dating back one thousand years. And since that first life in Seville, Spain, he has been searching for the love of his life, whom he met then and only one other time since.

Is this possible—was his life a miraculous one that let him live again and again? Or is he crazy, or lonely, rehearsing larger-than-life fantasies to get through the day? As Angel comes to learn the truth about Geno, so do we, and as Geno’s story comes to a head, so does the biggest truth of all: His story is an expansive ode to love—the love we had and lost, the love we wish we had but don't, and the love that might be staring us right in the face, which we don’t even know we’re lucky enough to have.
