Description

“Fans and sufferers of Greek myths, rock n' roll and middle-age crises will take great comfort and joy from this hilarious novel.”   Christopher Monks, Editor of McSweeney's Internet Tendency

Greek gods. Suburban families. Human urges. What could go wrong?

Christian Orr is a man in need of a mojo transfusion. Underemployed and suffering from erectile dysfunction since discovering his wife's infidelity, he has recently moved into what his daughter, Francesca, calls the Divorced Dads Apartment Complex. Meanwhile, his high-powered attorney wife, Sloan, is jaded by life and searching for new meaning, leaving precocious Francesca caught in the wake of change.

Enter Dionysus ("Dee"), the Greek god of wine and song, who arrives incognito in Glenhaven in pursuit of his estranged wife, Ari, and teenage son Maron. Fed up with 3,000 years of her scoundrel husband, Ari has made a deal with Zeus to start a new, normal life as a mortal suburban mom. And what could be more normal than falling for Christian?

Gods of Glenhaven is a fast-paced, bighearted suburban comedy about love, sex, death, and rock and roll-and everything that happens when our white-knuckle grip on life gets pried open against our will.
