about the book: For nearly a decade author Joe Connelly rushed
from emergency to emergency as a paramedic
in the Hell's
Kitchen area of New York City. This is the novel he wrote
to purge, perhaps redeem, the torment of his experiences in the
trenches with the dying and the barely living. Connelly seems
to be a born writer, for this first novel makes brilliant use
of unflinching realism, dark and brittle humor, a faint whiff
of the supernatural, and, above all, the poignancy of a human
soul that chooses slow self-destruction rather than shutting
itself off to the suffering of others.
