Summary Duncan Blake is a Kiwi filmmaker whose move to LA has not gone to plan. After a series of setbacks, hes working at a chain restaurant, his marriage is on shaky ground after a porn-related faux pas and his son wont stop watching Aladdin. When Duncan gets the chance to scout locations for a fêted directors biopic of Saint Joseph of Copertino, its the lifeline hes been searching for. But in Italy, in the footsteps of the seventeenth-century levitator, he must confront miracles, madness and the realities of modern movie making. A novel about the pursuit of dreams, the moral calculus this entails, and the possibility that the rational, materialist worldview isnt all its cracked up to be.
