Strong, lovely, vibrant Augusta - Gus - married to a man she adores and mother of three young children, is dying of cancer.
Gus in Bronze is the beautifully told story of her last four weeks, illuminating the sad and comic ways she and those she loves grapple with unthinkable loss. Bribing the gods for more time, her family encourages her to agree to sit for a portrait in bronze, to be sculpted by the art teacher who has captured her daughter's young heart. In the course of the sittings, Gus to her astonishment finds solace, absurdity, inspiration, meaning. This remarkable novel is about a remarkable woman, about a family bound by intense feeling, about adolescence, about doctors and family jokes and ordering groceries. It is a novel about coping and about hope. It is a book about love.
"A love story about grown-ups, written by somebody with a grown-up mind" - New York Times
"Above all, this poetic story is about the small, strange, and important way people have of expressing love." - Christian Science Monitor

There's Lone, the simpleton who can hear other people's thoughts. There's Janie, who moves things without touching them, and then there are the teleporting twins. There's Baby, who invented an antigravity engine while still in the cradle. Separately,the are freaks. Together, they compose a single organism that may represent the next step in evolution, and the final chapter in the history of the human race.

Gurlick was merely a sorry specimen of Homo sapiens. But now this craven, seething, barely literate drunk has ingested a spore that traveled light years before touching down on our planet. A spore that has in turn ingested Gurlick -- turned him into a host for the Medusa, a hive mind so vast that it encompasses the life forms of billions of planets.

In 1960, when he was almost 60 years old, John Steinbeck set out to rediscover his native land. Accompanied only by a French pooodle named Charley, he traveled the length and the breadth of the United States. He outfought a hurricane in New York and drank cognac in Maine with a family of migrant farm workers. He renewed old acquaintances in California and attended a modern witches' sabbath in New Orleans. He saw things which stirred his anger and things which made him swell with pride.
