    About this ebook

    After 50 years during which he has had three wives, lived in eight countries, and subscribed to three religions, Professor Buzzy Lox has received an invitation to attend the class reunion of his grammar school in Chicago, Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows. In Reunion, Hugh Fox creates a joyful, poignant world filled with magical and ghostly presences, as Buzzy’s trip to the Windy City dredges up emotions he almost forgot he had—dreamy nostalgia for the art world of his youth, conflicted and erogenous longing for women he knew once upon a time, and an overriding aura of doom heightened by the sense that maybe his best years are now behind him.
