A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK
TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE In this inventive collection of
stories, Chris Adrian treads the terrain of human
suffering--illness, regret, mourning, sympathy--in the most unusual
ways. A bereaved twin starts a friendship with a homicidal fifth
grader in the hope that she can somehow lead him back to his dead
brother. A boy tries to contact the spirit of his dead father and
finds himself talking to the Devil instead. A ne'er-do-well
pediatrician returns home to take care of his dying father, all the
while under the scrutiny of an easily-disappointed heavenly agent.
With A Better Angel's cast of living and dead characters, at once
otherworldly and painfully human, Adrian has created a haunting
work of spectral beauty and wit.
