Jon, a multitalented, eccentric visionary, emerges as a brilliant, charming, irresponsible, frustrating, and ultimately tragic hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a saga of the rise and fall of family lines--a tale marked by bohemia, Greek poets, intellectuals, drugs and homelessness. It is the story of eccentrics and survivors, the strength of personal vision and the nature of addiction, and what it does to families. An exquisitely rendered exploration of the harrowing and motivating forces of family, history, and individual choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEleni Sikelianos\u003c\/b\u003e' previous books include \u003ci\u003eEarliest Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e and the National Poetry Series winner \u003ci\u003eThe Monster Lives of Boys \u0026amp; Girls\u003c\/i\u003e.
