Fool of New York City : a novel / Michael O'Brien. by O'Brien, Michael (Michael David), 1948- Ignatius Press, c2016. Call #: FICTION OBR Subjects Amnesia -- Fiction   Tragedy -- Fiction   Good and evil -- Fiction   Identity (Psychology) -- Fiction   Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) -- Fiction ISBN:  9781621640738 (hc) Description:  279 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "Set in present day Manhattan, The Fool of New York City is the tale of two souls who are considered to be "fools" and "idiots" in the eyes of most people they encounter. One is a literal giant, the other an amnesiac who believes he is the 17th century Spanish painter Francisco de Goya, hundreds of years old, aging more slowly than the rest of the human race. Billy the giant has also briefly suffered from amnesia years ago, and he understands the anguish of those who have lost their identity. He is an apparently simple person, a failed basketball player with an enormous good heart who takes Francisco under his wing after they meet through a seeming coincidence. Together they undertake a laborious search to discover Francisco's true past. The trail leads them to numerous adventures, into the shrouded realm of hidden memories, the ironies and complexities of human character and destiny, of catastrophic evil and of redemption. It is a journey into the mysterious dimensions of the mind. It is about trauma and remembrance in America."--Inside jacket cover Genre:  Canadian fiction.
