Synopsis
Stacey D'Erasmo's strange and surreal novel follows the itinerant life of a young gay man, Gabriel, as he struggles to deal with his father's abandonment of him as a child, and as he seeks to find the kind of magical transformations described in the stories of Ovid that were read to him by his mother when he was young and, briefly, happy.

Industry Reviews
"[Stacey D'Erasmo's] neologisms and elegant similes are as distinctive and emotionally resonant as those of Virginia Woolf and Marilynne Robinson....[THE SKY BELOW is] full of brilliant, uncanny elements that intersect in ways both puzzling and true."
(01/01/2009)
"D'Erasmo writes a hyperkinetic, highly lyricized prose that's in turn mind-blowing and occasionally exhausting. And yet studded throughout are ringingly memorable lines, ones that make you see, hear, feel."
