Paul La Farge’s Luminous Airplanes in the NYTimes

Along with Lynne Tillman and LoVid, Paul La Farge will be reading in the first FPP Harlem reading of the season on September 10th. His latest novel, Luminous Airplanes, will be coming out in paperback on October 2nd!  In a New York Times review of the hardcover edition, Kathryn Schultz writes, “Luminous Airplanes isn’t about disconnection and meaninglessness. It is about connection and significance — about the way the past becomes the future, the contingent the inevitable, the spandrel the success, the success the tragedy. It is, in other words, about the ramifying, mysterious ways we human beings affect each other, from parent to child, invention to invention, generation to generation: If, if then, then.” We couldn’t agree more.  You can read the rest of the review on the New York Times website.
