A Tender Storm

The thing that nearly killed me is the thing that saved my life.

The borders reopen, and he goes back: to the heat of the building sites, to a room high above the river, to the work and the woman he thought he had left behind. But the body keeps its own accounts. There is illness in a foreign city, a visa forever running out, and the loneliness of the millions. Then, when everything else has failed, there is the kindness of strangers. It is a book about the storms that break us, and the tenderness with which they sometimes put us back together. Volume II of two. Signed and numbered, in an edition of twenty, each with an original sketch drawn by hand by the author.
