Small Rain

Small Rain
A medical crisis brings one man close
to death _ and to love, art, and beauty _
in a profound and luminous novel by
award-winning author Garth
Greenwell. A poet´s life is turned
inside out by a sudden, wrenching
pain. The pain brings him to his knees,
and eventually to the ICU. Confined to
bed, plunged into the dysfunctional
American healthcare system, he
struggles to understand what is
happening to his body, as someone
who has lived for many years in his
mind. This is a searching, sweeping
novel set at the furthest edges of
human experience, where the forces
that give life value _ art, memory,
poetry, music, care _ are thrown into
sharp relief.
