The Great Night by Chris Adrian

4.0

Man. If I only had two words to describe this book, they would be "whimsical" and "heartwrenching." It was like the movie "hook" plus sex scenes and a lot of death and sadness, plus a touch of Tom Robbins wryness. I wasn't sure at first, the first 50 pages are a bit slow, but after that I couldn't put it down.

The author went to Harvard Divinity school, got his MFA from Iowa and is also a doctor (pediatric oncology). Kind of amazing. I want to read "The Children's Hospital" next.
