On Midsummer's Eve three heartsick lovers are trapped in San Francisco's Buena Vista Park. Ill met by moonlight, they are stalked by a psychopathic Puck, in thrall to a beautiful Titania, and ambushed by a homeless musical theatre troupe. Together they must survive a night that might just repair their hearts, if it doesn't destroy them first.Selected by the New Yorker as one of the best young writers in America, Adrian has created a singularly playful, moving and humorous novel — a story that effortlessly crosses the borders between reality and dreams, suffering and magic, and mortality and immortality.
