Coming Up for Air

About this book

A desperate journey in which a man searches for the air of his lost childhood, before a world marching steadily toward the abyss swallows him. The narrative develops its central concerns through character, conflict, and consequence, with particular attention to literary classics translation, classics, and literary. It keeps the human stakes in view as choices expose loyalties, fears, and competing ideas of justice. The result is a story shaped by emotional tension as much as by events, inviting readers to consider what its characters gain, lose, and finally understand.
