The Inexplicable Logic of My Life

The Inexplicable Logic of My Life

This is a much deeper exploration of family than "Aristotle and Dante..." and I loved every minute of it. I want to be the kind of father that Sal's father is to him, and I certainly want to create the kind of respectful and open home he has, even if he doesn't fully realize it until later in the novel.

About the Book
A “mesmerizing, poetic exploration of family, friendship, love and loss” from the acclaimed author of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. (New York Times Book Review) Sal used to know his place with his adoptive gay father, their loving Mexican American family, and his best friend, Samantha. But it’s senior year, and suddenly Sal is throwing punches, questioning everything, and realizing he no longer knows himself. If Sal’s not who he thought he was, who is he?
This humor-infused, warmly humane look at universal questions of belonging is a triumph.
