Summary
"On the surface, these two stories have little in common, but thematically each dares to ask questions: What is the meaning of life? Was my life of value? Why am I dying? Ultimately, Olsen and Tolstoy consider questions about pain, suffering, and inequalities of fate and one's life work."--Jacket.
