About this audiobook
The scintillating novel by the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author.--The Astral is a huge rose-colored old pile of an apartment building in the gentrifying neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. For decades it was the happy home of poet Harry Quirk and his wife, Luz, a nurse, and their two children. But Luz has found some poems of Harry's that ignite her long-simmering suspicions of infidelity, and he's been summarily kicked out. He now has to reckon with the consequences.
