This novel chronicles a professor's life falling apart. He is bored with his suburban life, his wife, and the senseless bureaucracy of his university job. Adrift and increasingly unable to connect to his family, he tries to jump-start himself with having several extramarital affairs and the study of heaven and consciousness. His journey takes him through unreal experiences: a bizarre murder, a dysfunctional Boston family, his abusive father, a sex-crazed cousin, and a series of tragic accidents where he loses his immediate family. Mostly, his journey is a psychological self-discovery that leads to more sadness and depression.
Consequences is a rich compilation of reflections on the human experience, in prose, verse, and commentary. Iannone's clear voice explores the imperfect ways we interact with each other and the lives we've been given and made for ourselves. The pieces range from grounded observations of life in the natural world (the fragrance of seasons, or the feel of sand in between toes), to fantastical visions of other worlds and reasoned arguments about contemporary pressing matters. What unites each work is a candidness and openness to the diversity and complexity of the human relationships and passions that shape the world around us.
