520    When Christopher Sorrentino's mother died in 2017, it 
       marked the end of a journey that had begun eighty years 
       earlier in the South Bronx. Victoria's life took her to 
       the heart of New York's vibrant mid-century downtown 
       artistic scene to the sedate campus of Stanford and 
       finally back to Brooklyn-a journey witnessed by a son who 
       watched, helpless, as she grew more and more isolated, 
       distancing herself from everyone and everything she'd ever
       loved. In examining the mystery of his mother's life, from
       her dysfunctional marriage to his heedless father, the 
       writer Gilbert Sorrentino, to her ultimate withdrawal from
       the world, Christopher excavates his own memories and 
       family folklore in an effort to discover her dreams, 
       understand her disappointments, and peel back the ways in 
       which she seemed forever trapped between two identities: 
       the Puerto Rican girl identified on her birth certificate 
       as Black and the white woman she had seemingly decided to 
       become. Meanwhile Christopher experiences his own 
       transformation, emerging from under his father's shadow 
       and his mother's thumb to establish his identity as a 
       writer and individual-one who would soon make his own 
       missteps and mistakes. Unfolding against the captivating 
       backdrop of a vanished New York-a dangerous, decaying, but
       liberated and potentially liberating place-Now Beacon, Now
       Sea is a matchless portrait of the beautiful, painful 
       messiness of life and the transformative power of even 
       conflicted grief.
