"Out of the Air" by Inez Haynes Gillmore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows David Lindsay, a returned aviator from World War I, navigating civilian life in New York City and grappling with the traumas of war, societal expectations, and his literary aspirations. Lindsay's encounters with a range of characters reflect the changing times, as he grapples with his place in a world that feels both familiar and alien. At the start of the novel, David Lindsay is in a reflective state after returning home from the war, seeking to find his footing. He recalls his last experiences before the war, expresses reluctance about recounting his war experiences, and muses about a literary project involving an author named Lutetia Murray. The narrative is punctuated by his interactions with friends, and it quickly shifts to Lindsay's disturbed sleep, suggesting something unusual may be haunting him. Offsetting the war's psychological aftermath, we are introduced to Susannah Ayer, a young woman finding her way in the same bustling city, who must confront her own challenges that intertwine with Lindsay's story as the novel unfolds. Overall, the opening portion sets the stage for a rich exploration of humanity amidst the backdrop of post-war America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
