"I'm a fabulist by trade," warns Gabriel Noone, a late-night
radio storyteller, as he begins to untangle the skeins of
his tumultuous life: his crumbling ten-year love affair, his
disaffection from his Southern father, his longtime weakness
for ignoring reality. Gabriel's most sympathetic listener is
Pete Lomax, a thirteen-year-old fan in Wisconsin whose own
horrific past has left him wise and generous beyond his
years. But when this virtual father-son relationship is
rocked by doubt, a desperate search for the truth ensues.
Welcome to the complex, vertiginous world of The Night
Listener.
