Description
A poignant and thought-provoking novel about friendship and redemption, Humboldt's Gift tells the story of two men whose lives are forever changed by an unexpected legacy from one to the other.
The great poet Von Humboldt Fleisher and his young friend Charlie Citrine were once inseparable, but when Humboldt dies, Charlie is left reeling. His life has stalled, and he's struggling with a painful divorce, an unsuitable infatuation, and a complicated entanglement with a neurotic mafioso.
But then, something extraordinary happens. Humboldt acts from beyond the grave, bestowing upon Charlie an unexpected gift that may just be the turning point his life needs.
