: What if our pain was the most beautiful thing about us? :
: :
: From best-selling and award-winning author Kevin Brockmeier: a new novel of:
: stunning artistry and imagination about the wounds we bear and the light :
: that radiates from us all. :
: :
: At 8:17 on a Friday night, the Illumination commences. Every wound begins :
: to shine, every bruise to glow and shimmer. And in the aftermath of a fatal:
: car accident, a private journal of love notes, written by a husband to his :
: wife, passes into the keeping of a hospital patient and from there through :
: the hands of five other suffering people, touching each of them uniquely. :
: :
: The six recipients--a data analyst, a photojournalist, a schoolchild, a :
: missionary, a writer, and a street vendor--inhabit an acutely observed, :
: beautifully familiar yet particularly strange universe, as only Kevin :
: Brockmeier could imagine it: a world in which human pain is expressed as :
: illumination, so that one's wounds glitter, fluoresce, and blaze with :
: light. As we follow the journey of the book from stranger to stranger, we :
: come to understand how intricately and brilliantly they are connected, in :
: all their human injury and experience. :
