Darlington's Fall
by Brad LeithauserThe hero of this one-of-a-kind novel is Russel Darlington, a born naturalist and an unlikely romantic hero. We meet him in the year 1895--a seven-year-old boy first glimpsed chasing a frog through an Indiana swamp. And we follow this idealistic, appealing man for nearly forty years: into college and over the Rockies in pursuit of a new species of butterfly; through a clumsy courtship and into a struggling marriage; across the Pacific, where on a tiny, rainy island he suffers a nightmarish accident; through the deaths of friends and family and into a seemingly hopeless passion for an unapproachable young woman.Darlington's Fall is ultimately a love story. It is written in verse that--vivid, accessible, and lush--imparts an intensity to the story and its luminous gallery of characters: Russel's rich, taciturn, up-right, guilt-driven father; Miss Kraus, his formidable housekeeper; Ernst Schrock, his maddening, gluttonous mentor; and Pauline Beaudette, the beautiful, ill-starred girl who becomes his wife. Leithauser's embracingly compassionate outlook invites us into their world--into a past so sharply realized it feels like the present.In Darlington's Fall, Brad Leithauser offers an ingeniously plotted story and the virtues long associated with his elegant stanzas: wit, music, and a keen eye for the natural world. His independent careers as novelist and poet come together brilliantly here, producing something rare and wonderful in the landscape of contemporary American writing: a book that bends borders, a happy marriage of poetry and fiction.

No obstant això, el Grand Tour de l'Alexander i la gira literària de la May, convertida en escriptora reconeguda, els mantenen separats sis anys, i només els uneix una correspondència a base de burles sobre matrimonis. Pels volts de 1851, quan per fi es retroben, la May continua soltera i l'Alexander hauria de pensar seriosament a casar-se, però no sembla decidit a fer el que se n'espera: buscar una debutanti prendre-la com a esposa. La família de la May pensa que ella ha de seguir buscant i no rendir-se. La primera temporada de l'Alexander coincidirà amb l'última de la May.
