City on fire : a novel / Garth Risk Hallberg. by Hallberg, Garth Risk. Bond Street Books, c2015. Call #: FICTION HAL Subjects Estranged families -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Electric power failures -- Fiction.   Teenagers -- Fiction.   Rich people -- Fiction.   Betrayal -- Fiction.   Forgiveness -- Fiction.   New York (N.Y.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780385682749 Description:  903 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  The individuals who live within this extraordinary first novel are: Regan and William Hamilton-Sweeney, estranged heirs to one of the city's largest fortunes; Keith and Mercer, the men who, for better or worse, love them; Charlie and Samantha, two suburban teenagers seduced by downtown's punk scene; an obsessive magazine reporter; his idealistic neighbor; and the detective trying to figure out what any of them have to do with a shooting in Central Park. Their entangled relationships--which stretch from post-Vietnam youth culture to the fiscal crisis, from small-town Georgia to greater L.A.--open up the loneliest-seeming corners of the crowded city. And when the infamous blackout of July 13th, 1977 plunges this world into darkness, each of these lives will be changed forever. A novel about love and betrayal and forgiveness, about art and truth and rock'n'roll, about how the people closest to us are sometimes the hardest to reach--about what it means to be human. Genre:  Social commentary fiction.
