註釋This short novel depicts a teenage boy struggling to penetrate the mysteries of his father's world--a world of automobiles, honey bees, baseball, infidelity, broken dreams, unspoken love & an enigmatic old woman who thinks she is a bird. This book follows up Heller's first novel The Automotive History of Lucky Kellerman, a Book-of-the-Month-Club selection. Publishers Weekly described Lucky Kellerman as "a beautifully paced, captivating novel, (that) ascends toward mythical heights & a magical, unexpected conclusion." USA Today called Lucky Kellerman "A moving novel, filled with genuine surprises, very gracefully written." Father's Mechanical Universe takes a different look at Lucky through his son Curly's eyes as Curly comes of age striving to comprehend his father's anger, idiosyncrasy & unspoken love. Heller, who has won two O. Henry Awards & fellowships from NEA & Yaddo, teaches at Kansas State University. Please order through Baker & Taylor, 510 S.
