520 1 $a"Gabriel Collins writes obituaries for a ratty paper in lower Manhattan. Once his mother's precious, imaginative boy, to whom she read Ovid and with whom she invented an intricate world of games and fantasy, Gabriel is now a semi-artist, one of New York's many almost-theres clinging to his rent-controlled apartment and his day job. He's also a manipulator, a schemer willing to do almost anything for cash. He's a charming dreamer, but for him dreaming has a way of leading not only to creativity but also to theft, prostitution, and vandalism. He's a cusp man in a cusp city at a cusp moment, poised between life and death, art and crime, rising and falling." "And then one day everything changes. Beset by a series of cataclysmic events, including a brush with his own mortality, Gabriel is thrust into something much larger than himself. He undergoes a profound transformation in which he discovers, to his own surprise, what his life's purpose really is."--BOOK JACKET.
