[quote style=”boxed”]Toronto writer Stephen Zeifman’s all-knowing narration hold us… building a replete and absorbing portrait of a formidable male ego on the skids.” —Jim Bartley, Globe and Mail[/quote]
[quote style=”boxed”]Although sex drives this novel… Zeifman lingers on the value of work and the intricacies of… the Palio, themes that are not glib or fusty attempts at local colour, but attendant witness to a life that has gone stale.” —Dan Glover, National Post[/quote]
Casey Rosengarten, a successful architect, is The Family Man, except that he has chosen to opt out of his family and find the missing blueprints to his happiness in Italy. Set against the mayhem of Siena’s summer Palio festival, in the clamour of the ritual mediaeval horse races, Casey, along with his old friend and mentor, and two free-spirited young girls, finds answers. In this novel the age-old story of escape and new beginnings is reworked into a fresh, rough-and-ready ride through one man’s middle age to the heart of life itself, sexual ecstasy. A novel that tracks the rhythms of the mind, the body, the place.
Stephen Zeifman of Canada is the autor of three novels: The Family Man, The Good Friend and The Ben Calder Story, and a novella, Peripheral Vision. He is also an exhibiting photographer, and a teacher at Toronto’s Bishop Strachan Girl’s School.
