Sky Changes Summary

Sky Changes by Gilbert Sorrentino

Divorce in America is the subject of Gilbert Sorrentino's novel. Tracing the New York-to-San Francisco journey of a family as husband and wife try to maintain the illusion that their marriage can be rescued, The Sky Changes records the unimaginable damage they inflict upon each other in order to force themselves towards divorce. Along the way, their two children become victims of the parents' failures and are dragged through the torment of this disintegrating marriage. No other novel in American literature is so narrowly dedicated to recording close-up the devastating pain of a marriage falling apart and the doomed-to-fail efforts to make it work.

Sky Changes Reviews

Composed with dazzling and precise verbal dexterity, The Sky Changes is replete with sadness for lost love and despair over a cheapened American culture. -- Washington Post Though its tone is dominated by despair and disillusionment, The Sky Changes also offers the pleasures of Gilbert Sorrentino's intense concentration and the poignancy of those few moments when redemption seems possible. -- Los Angeles Times Book Review Gilbert Sorrentino is a poet, and The Sky Changes is poetry influenced by an insight both agitated and clear. -- Gwendolyn Brooks, Book Week
