The Infinities 

John Banville

The Infinities is John Banville’s first literary fiction since his 2005 Man Booker Prize winner The Sea. The Dublin-based writer is the author of 14 previous novels including Kepler and The Book of Evidence. Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the Guardian Fiction Award, and a Lannan Literary Award for fiction, Banville writes in a densely wrought, distinctive style that has drawn comparisons to the work of Joyce, Beckett, and Nabokov. In The Infinities, the Godley family gathers as their patriarch lies dying. Around them hovers another family, one of mischievous immortals—among them, Zeus, Pan, and Hermes, the genial and omniscient narrator of the story.
