A weekend in New York / Benjamin Markovits. by Markovits, Benjamin. Faber & Faber, Incorporated 2019. Call #: FICTION MAR Subjects Families -- Fiction.   Tennis players -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Identity (Psychology) -- Fiction.   Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780571359639 (trade pbk.) Description:  346 p. ; 20 cm. Summary:  "Paul Essinger is a mid-ranking tennis professional on the ATP tour. His girlfriend Dana is an ex-model and photographer, and the mother of their two-year-old son, Cal. Together they form a tableau of the contented upper-middle-class New York family. But summer storms are blowing through Manhattan, and Paul's parents have come to stay in the build-up to the US Open. Over the course of the weekend, several generations of domestic tension are brought to boiling point. What does it mean to be a family? To be an individual? And how do we deal with the responsibilities these roles impose upon us? A Weekend In New York intertwines the politics of the household and the state to forge a luminous national portrait on a deceptively local scale. Recalling some of America's most celebrated novelists - this is John Updike's Rabbit for a new generation - Benjamin Markovits' writing reminds us of the heights that social realism can reach."--Publisher.
