Reviews
"Wagner shamelessly writes with his heart on his sleeve throughout, daring his readers to be so callous as to question fiction's ability to imagine the impossible."-- John Freeman,The Boston Globe, "Wagner delineates his characters with such sympathy and verve, such a sharp eye...that they become palpable human beings, real in their griefs and yearnings and illusions."-- Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times", "Wagner shamelessly writes with his heart on his sleeve throughout, daring his readers to be so callous as to question fiction's ability to imagine the impossible."-- John Freeman, "The Boston Globe", "Wagner delineates his characters with such sympathy and verve, such a sharp eye...that they become palpable human beings, real in their griefs and yearnings and illusions."-- Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times, "[He] takes great pains to endow his...creations with detailed and vivid inner lives, in which even the shallowest circumstances are transformed into high-stakes questions of spiritual life and death."-- Chris Lehmann, "The Washington Post Book World", "YHe? takes great pains to endow his...creations with detailed and vivid inner lives, in which even the shallowest circumstances are transformed into high-stakes questions of spiritual life and death."-- Chris Lehmann, "The Washington Post Book World"

Synopsis
In his most profound and accomplished book to date, acclaimed author Bruce Wagner breaks from Hollywood culture with a novel of exceptional literary dimension and searing emotional depth. Joan Herlihy is a semi-successful architect grasping at the illustrious commission that will catapult her to international renown, glossy décor magazines, and the luxe condo designs of Meier, Koolhaas, and Hadid: the incestuous cult of contemporary Starchitects. Unexpectedly, she finds her Venice Beach firm on the short list for a coveted private memorial -- a Napa billionaire's vanity tribute to relatives killed in the Christmas tsunami -- with life-changing consequences. Her brother Chester clings to a failing career as a location scout before suffering an accidental injury resulting from an outrageous prank; the tragicomic repercussions lead him through a maze of addiction, delusion, paranoia -- and ultimately, transcendence. Virtually abandoned by her family, the indomitable Marjorie Herlihy -- mother, widow, and dreamer -- falls prey to a confidence scheme dizzying in its sadism and complexity. And unbeknownst to Marj and her children, the father who disappeared decades ago is alive and well nearby, recently in the local news for reasons that will prove to be both his redemption and his undoing. Spiraling toward catastrophe, separate lives collide as family members make a valiant attempt to reunite and create an enduring legacy. To rewrite a ruined American dream. Deeply compassionate and violently irreverent,Memorialis a testament to faith and forgiveness, and a luminous tribute to spirituality in the twenty-first century. With an unflagging eye on a society ruptured by natural and unnatural disaster, and an insatiable love for humanity, Wagner delivers a masterpiece.
