(P.S.)
In a New York City made phantasmagorical by the events of 9/11, Hans - a banker originally from the Netherlands - finds himself marooned among the strange occupants of the Chelsea Hotel after his English wife and son return to London.
Alone and untethered he stumbles upon the vibrant New York subculture of cricket, where he revisits his lost childhood and, thanks to a friendship with a charismatic and charming Trinidadian named Chuck Ramkissoon, begins to reconnect with his life and his adopted country.
Hans is alternately seduced and instructed by Chuck’s particular brand of naivete and chutzpah - by his ability to hold fast to a sense of American and human possibility in which Hans has come to lose faith.
