At its core, The Bottom of the Sky is a novel about two young boys in love with other planets and a disturbingly beautiful girl. An homage to the history of American science fiction, it's also about the Gulf War, 9/11, and a mysterious "e;incident."e; It's like a Kurt Vonnegut novel told by David Lynch through the lens of Philip K. Dick.

"Document it and file it, even if it's better not to: It's the night of December 10, 1831, and Allan Melvill is walking across the frozen Hudson River." Based on Herman Melville and his father Allan Melvill--plowing through childhood days at the bedside of a hallucinated man and nights as a twilight writer who no longer wields a pen nor harpoon-- Melvill goes on the hunt for the enigma of the always orphaned literary vocation, for the legacy of family stigma, the steersmen of fiction, and the castaways of reality.

Highly anticipated conclusion to Fresán's "Part" Trilogy, which includes the Best Translated Book Award winning The Invented Part
