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.
