<p> <i>The Arms of the Infinite</i> takes the reader inside the minds of author Christopher Barker’s parents, writer Elizabeth Smart (<i>By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept</i>) and poet George Barker. From their first fateful meeting and subsequent elopement, Barker candidly reveals their obsessive, passionate, and volatile love affair. </p> <p> He writes evocatively of his unconventional upbringing with his siblings in a shack in Ireland and, later, a rambling, falling-down house in Essex. Interesting and charismatic figures from the literary and art worlds are regular visitors, and the book is full of fascinating cameos and anecdotes. </p> <p> <b>North American rights only.</b> </p>
