Beautiful people always get what they want.
Elizabeth Salas, single, middle-aged, and confined to her room, lives in a faceless city in the American Southwest. She has little hope for the future. And then one day a young man named Jace Jason walks through the front door...
Epic in scope, The Moon Down to Earth is filled with living, breathing characters rarely seen in modern novels. This handsome new edition makes this underground classic widely available for the very first time.
James Nulick's prose in The Moon Down to Earth is extraordinary, at once harsh and tender, flaying and consoling, yet also enlivened by wit and erudition. The results are deeply revealing of the body's incantatory rhythms, the somatic thought-forms. In this manner he delves with his reader to the limit of his characters' souls.
-Jonathan Lethem
In The Moon Down to Earth, the definitions of conventional beauty and acceptable desire are ripped open and turned inside out. James Nulick's characters felt utterly alive to me. This is a fantastic novel that will stay with me for a long time.
-Chelsea Hodson
