From the jacket flap
This classic, award-winning novel was included in Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon as a work likely to be cherished by future scholars, and in David Pringle's "Science Fiction: The Best 100 Novels. It treats one of mankind's most persistent fantasies as a criminal offense.
Flying--it is a transcendental state, the highest exaltation of the soul, paradise itself, and it can be achieved simply by singing a song. But it is also illegal, at least in the state of Iowa, where everything's rationed, where people live in fortress-villages, and where Daniel Weinreb, intrepid native and incorrigible teen, does a stint in prison for having secretly delivered copies of the "Star-Tribune, the immoral daily from the infidel state of Minnesota. While in prison, he is advised by an inmate that if he wants to fly, he must make a mess of his life, and upon release, that is exactly what he does. For Daniel finds that he will do "anything in order to fly.
