Description
With characteristic insight, Gom explores the depths of a semi-functional marriage set within the rarefied world of astronomy in Hawaii and Canada. Sharp, witty and preceptive, The Exclusion Principle evokes a singular impression of layered worlds that lingers long after the final page is turned.
