Everything from cakes to tools to a walk through a springtime neighborhood to the slow-motion shuffle of a TB ward is rendered with such immediacy. These scenes are so fresh they seem to describe what happened yesterday instead events from decades long gone. No dust on these people and places; they're right here. I'm looking forward to the book!

Great story of a man using his idle time to grow and enrich his mind and life through reading and his determination to heal his body. Terrific!
