Jerry's landscaping business is probably the best metaphor for what Aloft is about: he's a professional smoother-over of things, a burier of hatchets and skeletons and whatever else would look prettier covered by a manicured lawn or a bluestone patio or a Har-Tru tennis court. Of course, Lee isn't the first to point out that the suburbs hide uncharted depths of misery and discontentment--Updike, Rick Moody and John Cheever, among many others, have been here before.
