Small Rain
あらすじ・解説
Long-listed, Publishers Weekly Best Books of the Year, 2024
"Garth Greenwell's superb narration makes a powerful case for authors reading their own work...there's an open tenderness in Greenwell's voice that's immediately compelling"—AudioFile on Cleanness
This program is read by the author.
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. Time expands and contracts. Sudden intimacies bloom. Small Rain surges beyond the hospital to encompass a radiant vision of human life: our shared vulnerability, the limits and possibilities of sympathy, the ideal of art and the fragile dream of America. Above all, this is a love story of the most unexpected kind.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
批評家のレビュー
“Greenwell—such a finely tuned, generous writer—transforms a savage illness into a meditation on a vital life.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“I just didn’t put it down . . . Very romantic, incredibly moving.”—Miranda July, author of All Fours
“A fierce, beautiful novel about loving, living, dying, caring and being cared for. Greenwell’s sentences crackle with contained energy.”—Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater
