Book Description:
In this remarkable roman clef, Paul West transcribes his own life and love with captivating eloquence. Recounting his now quarter century union with Swan (poet and naturalist Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses) with wit and tenderness, the narrator re creates their times together and their friendship with Raoul Bunsen a Carl Sagan like character. Meeting Bunsen turns out to be one of the most fortunate events of their shared lives, for he fans the couple's passion for all things astronomical.

This is a story about a deep and honest love that burns undaunted, whether suffering the hilarious indignities and excesses of ivy covered academia or the highs and lows of coming face to face with our galaxy. Haunted by astronomy, these literary lovers forge a bond that transcends the divide between art and science.
