Book Description
===================
Hamilton Stark is a New Hampshire pipe fitter and the sole inhabitant
of the house from which he evicted his own mother. He is the villain
of five marriages and the father of a daughter so obsessed that she
has been writing a book about him for years. Hamilton Stark is a boor,
a misanthrope, a handsome man: funny, passionately honest, and a good
dancer. The narrator, a middle-aged writer, decides to write about
Stark as a hero whose anger and solitude represent passion and wisdom.
At the same time that he tells Hamilton Stark’s story, he describes
the process of writing the novel and the complicated connections
between truth and fiction. As Stark slips in and out of focus,
maddeningly elusive and fascinatingly complex, this beguiling novel
becomes at once a compelling meditation on identity and a thoroughly
engaging story of life on the cold edge of New England.
