Description

Two men, one a salesman, the other a professor, share a hospital room. They share, too, the knowledge that both of them are dying of cancer. This is a story about death, and at the same time it is an affirmation of life. It is a study of men forced to face the fact of their own mortality. As the days pass each man sees, mirrored in the wasting body of the other, his own death. And yet they cling to humanity in the face of death and are the greater for it. They learn to care for each other and to forgive those who will go on living after they have died. This remarkable first novel is compassionate but totally unsentimental; not only untouched by morbidity, but also, almost unbelievably, sometimes highlighted by humor as astringent as it is genuine.
