The authors talk with and through Percy's characters about medicine, about art and suffering, and about how their lives became richer as they acknowledge their share of the world's troubles."--Arthur W. Frank, author of "At the Will of the Body: Reflections on Illness and the Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and Ethics"
