Review:
"DESTINY is written as a continuous internal monologue, one that is wandering yet repetitive and obsessive. paragraphs go on for three or four pages and are occasionally reminiscent of Samuel Beckett or Thomas Bernhard, though Parks doesn't benefit from such comparisons."
Geoff Nicholson, New York Times Book Review, 06/25/2000
Review:"...DESTINY turns out to be a study in depth of the egotistical sublime, or the egotistical tormented, in the figure of its narrator and protagonist."
D.J. Enright, New York Review of Books, 08/10/2000

Book Description: Arcade Publishing 2001-04-17, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: Brand New. Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 256 Pages. 7.92 in l x 5.09 in w x .75 in h. .77 lb. Christopher Burton, Britain's foremost foreign correspondent, has returned with his Italian wife to London for an extended stay. One morning, while at the reception desk of his Knightsbridge hotel, he receives a phone call announcing that his teenage son has committed suicide in Italy. Why, upon hearing the news, does he immediately conclude that his marriage of 30 years is over? And why is grief so slow in coming? Analyzing the three decades of his love-hate relationship, Burton finds his life a web of contradictions, questions, and confusions. And yet, clearly, it has also been his destiny. -- Product Description. Remainder.
