The book is fluid and lyrical with insightful cultural references throughout. It is as good as his first novel , 100 Days, and in spite of what is a difficult topic to communicate he manages beutifully. Highly reccomend it and not designated for just those that have dealt with illness or death.
A Unique Synthesis

Simply stated, this is a remarkable book. Dr. Biro is able to merge his considerable expertise as a doctor of medicine and letters with his own personal experience with a life threatening illness. The result is much more than an exploration of the concept and reality of pain. It is an exploration of what it is to be a human being in the world: thinking, feeling, communicating, and living.
