The Infinities

Banville, The Infinities

On a peaceful midsummer’s day in the Irish countryside, Adam Godley, a renowned theoretical mathematician, is dying. As the Godley family gathers at his bedside, a family of mischievous immortals – among them, Zeus, Pan, and Hermes, the genial and omniscient narrator – start to stir up trouble, to sometimes wildly unintended effect.

Blissfully inventive and playful, rich in psychological insight and sensual detail, The Infinities is a unique look at the terrible and wonderful plight of being human.
