<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Twenty-eight-year-old Will, a teacher living in Montreal, has spent the last few months recovering from a breakup with his first serious boyfriend, Max. He has resumed his search for companionship, but has he truly moved on? Will's mother Katherine--one of the few people, perhaps the only one, who loves him unconditionally--is also in recovery, from a bout with colon cancer that haunts her body and mind with the possibility of relapse. Having experienced heartbreak and fearful of tragedy, Will must come to terms with the rule of impermanence: to see past lost treasures and unwanted returns, to find hope and solace in the absolute certainty of change. In <i>The Geography of Pluto</i>, Christopher DiRaddo perfectly captures the ebb and flow of life through the insightful, exciting, and often playful story of a young man's day-to-day struggle with uncertainty.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The book's crystalline prose makes for an incredibly smooth read but the most impressive technical accomplishment is the timeline. Picture a young man watching TV in his mother's humble Plateau apartment, or marking high school geography exams ... until he's suddenly catapulted into the past, recalling a moment of discovery, intimacy, or regret. The lucidity of the remembered scene is so profound that it flings him out into yet another recollection as vivid as the first." --<i>Montreal Review of Books</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher DiRaddo</b> lives in Montreal where he is the founder and host of the Violet Hour LGBTQ reading series. He is also the author of <i>The Family Way</i> published by Véhicule Press.
