Takeoff The Pilot's Lore

In these eight elegant narratives about the experience of flying by "Italo Calvino's possible heir" ("The New York Times Book Review"), readers are taken up into the clouds, to a world governed by different laws. Whether he is reliving his first solo flight or recounting the mysterious disappearance of an airliner, del Giudice focuses on the edge of experience where a person learns to take nothing for granted.
