When he’s not working at The Pie Who Loved Me (a spy-themed pizza shop) or passing the time with his girlfriend Sab (typically in one of their town’s seventeen cemeteries)\, he carefully avoids the spotlight. \nBut Excel knows that his family is far from normal. His mother\, Maxima\, was once a Filipina B-movie action star who now makes her living scamming men online. The old man they live with is not his grandfather\, but Maxima’s lifelong martial arts trainer. And years ago\, on Excel’s tenth birthday\, Maxima revealed a secret that he must keep forever. “We are tago nang tago\,” she told him\, “hiding and hiding.” Excel is undocumented—and one accidental slip could uproot his entire life. \nCasting aside the paranoia and secrecy of his childhood\, Excel takes a leap\, joining Sab on a journey south to a ramshackle desert town called Hello City. Populated by drifters\, old hippies\, and washed-up techies—and existing outside the normal constructs of American society—Hello City offers Excel a chance to forge his own path for the first time. But after so many years of trying to be invisible\, who does he want to become? And is it possible to put down roots in a country that has always considered you an outsider? \nThrumming with energy and at once critical and hopeful\, The Son of Good Fortune is a luminous story of a mother and son testing the strength of their bond to their country—and to each other. \nAbout Fruit \nBruce Snider’s third poetry collection grapples with what it means to be childless in a world obsessed with procreation. Poems move between the scientific and the biblical\, effortlessly sliding from the clinical landscape of a sperm bank to Mount Moriah as Abraham prepares Isaac for sacrifice. Exploring issues of sexuality\, lineage\, and mortality\, Snider delves into subjects as varied as the Creation Museum in Petersburg\, Kentucky; same-sex couple adoption; and Gregor Mendel’s death in 1884. Each poem builds into a broader examination of power and fragility\, domesticity and rebellion\, violence and devotion: heartrending vignettes of the aches and joys of growing up and testing the limits of nature and nurture. In language both probing and sensitive\, Fruit delivers its own conflicted and celebratory answers to pressing questions of life\, death\, love\, and biology.
