Indian Leap

Just as he is finding liberation from the burdens of his middle-aged life-an unfulfilling marriage finally ended, a bartending job left behind-the narrator of Indian Leap receives a shattering phone call. The terrible news propels him back into the life of his ex-wife, as he accompanies her to rural Massachusetts to retrieve her twelve-year-old nephew, now an orphan. Back in New York, he finds himself reunited with his wife, again at the bar, and raising a child who is desperately in need of a father. Stuck with the consequences of his loyalty, he finds solace in his friends-as brilliant and hilarious as they are self-destructive-which leads him to drinking, carousing, and a damaging affair with a waitress. Indian Leap is an evocative exploration of the love, fear and resistance that exists between parents and children. Richly narrated by the ruminative husband, Kanor has chronicled how fractured lives are unwittingly healed, how a boy becomes a man and how a man becomes a father in trying times.
