Main character Hans is located in NYC, a place that is made phatasmagorical thanks to the events of 9/11. He is a banker who originally hails from the Netherlands and has found himself left among the occupants of the Chelsea Hotel now that his wife, who is English, and his son have gone home to London.

Hans is on his own and is completely untethered, and now feels lost and adrift in the country that he saw as his home. Hans finds the subculture of cricket in New York and is able to revisit his lost childhood once more. He also has a friendship he strikes up with a charming Trinidadian who goes by the name of Chuck Ramkissoon and starts to connect once more with not only his life but his new adopted country.

Ramkissoon is a Gatsby-type figure. He is partially an idealist and partially an operator. He is able to introduce Hans to a different type of New York that is full of immigrants as well as people who are part of every race and nationality. Hans is seduced by Chuck’s brand of being innocent as well as his chutzpah, the ability that he has to hold to a sense of human and American possibility that Hans has started to lose faith in.

In this book, the author is able to deliver a picture of a New York that is not as known to people as well as the story of a bigger ambition– the strangeness and fading promise of America in the 21st century from the viewpoint of an outsider as well as the relationship between the American dream and those who dream it.

It is the story of one man, as well as of a marriage, about male friendship, and about memory. The prose in its beauty and conscientiousness is able to involve us in the struggle for meaning that sees over any single life. Check out this book to find out more and to follow along with every word!

Godwin is a 2024 book by Joseph O’Neill. This is the story of two brothers who make their way all over the world to try and find an African soccer prodigy who might just have the power to change all of their fortunes for good.

Mark Wolfe is a technical writer who is incredibly smart. He is married and resides in Pittsburgh along with his wife Sushila and their young daughter. His half-brother Geoff was born in the UK where he grew up and is now a young soccer agent who is rather desperate. He ends up drawing Mark all the way across the ocean and into a plan to track down Godwin, an elusive prospect and an African teen that Geoff thinks could end up being the next Messi.

Narrated by Mark and Lekesha Williams, his work colleague, this is the story not only of family and migration but adventure. It implicates the brothers in soccer’s beauty and its ugliness, focusing on the promises and dangers that international business brings, and the dark history that comes along with money-making on a transatlantic basis.

Now Joseph O’Neill takes a close up look into colonialism’s legacy in the context of familial love, global capitalism, the individual with a dream, and more.
