Yet Today: A Novel

Anthony Caplan

4.9/5 (31406 ratings)

Description:School's out for summer, and that's when Gillum Kaosky heads for the exits. Poised somewhere between neediness and nothingness, Kaosky sets out for summer adventures. Gillum is a Spanish teacher. He's been married for twenty years and has three children with his wife Sibyl. They have raised their family on a farm in central New Hampshire. But this summer, Gillum lands a job that will change everything: wire-tapping the Dominican crime families responsible for bringing heroin and fentanyl into northern New England. Meanwhile, his son, Jonah breaks into the Department of Defense in a hack attempt that lands him in jail. Nothing remains the same, and love does not always conquer all in Yet Today, a thrilling, contemporary family saga from Anthony Caplan. KIRKUS REVIEWSA New Hampshire high school teacher, working a second job as a Drug Enforcement Agency linguist, feels disconnected from his family in Caplan's (The Saints of David, 2017, etc.) novel. Gillum Kaosky, who teaches Spanish during the school year, has no plans for recreation during the summer. Instead, he's lined up a job with the DEA tapping phone calls between Dominican drug-gang members. Kaosky lives with wife, Sibyl, and daughters, Hope and Gabriella; his son, Jonah, is away at Brown University. He has few acquaintances, and his students' parents don't seem to recognize him at school events such as Hope's lacrosse game. He's not popular at work, either; the school principal insinuates that he should go easier on a star athlete in his class. However, he feels most isolated within his own family. He doesn't relate well to his daughters, and during one of Jonah's visits, the family seems happier when Kaosky isn't with them. But two events cause the protagonist to see an opportunity to reconnect and make his world "whole again." Caplan establishes an unhurried pace for a story that focuses largely on Kaosky's self-analysis. Though flawed, the protagonist is sympathetic as he struggles to overcome his faults and make others happy. There are notable parallels between the Milares family, whom Kaosky monitors, and his own kin. The story often highlights how he's become an observer, rather than an active participant, in his own life. Caplan displays an ability to turn somber moments into something heartfelt. An often bleak tale with an intriguing, introspective protagonist.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
