Description - Nailing Down the Saint by Craig Cliff

A new novel from the Commonwealth Prize-winning author.

Hollywood, fatherhood, levitation. This smart, funny, thought-provoking novel is full of surprises.

Duncan Blake is a Kiwi filmmaker whose move to LA has not gone to plan. After a series of setbacks, he€™s working at a chain restaurant, his marriage is on shaky ground after a porn-related faux pas and his son won€™t stop watching Aladdin.

When Duncan gets the chance to scout locations for a f̻ted director۪s biopic of Saint Joseph of Copertino, it۪s the lifeline he۪s been searching for. But in Italy, in the footsteps of the seventeenth-century levitator, he must confront miracles, madness and the realities of modern movie making.

A novel about the pursuit of dreams, the moral calculus this entails, and the possibility that the rational, materialist worldview isn€™t all it€™s cracked up to be.
