'CENSUS is a vital testament to selfless love; a psalm to
commonplace miracles; and a mysterious evolving metaphor. So kind,
it aches.' David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas A father and son
who are census takers journey across a nameless country from the
town of A to the town of Z in the wake of the father's fatal
diagnosis. Knowing that his time is menacingly short, the father
takes his son, who requires close and constant adult guidance, on
this trip of indefinite length. Their feelings for each other are
challenged and bolstered as they move in and out of a variety of
homes, meeting a variety of different people. Census is about the
ways in which people react to the son's condition, to the son as a
person in the world. It is about discrimination and acceptance,
kindness and art, education and love. It is a profoundly moving
novel, glowing with wisdom and grace, roaring with a desire to
change the world.
