Sinossi
After pulling himself out of a frozen lake, Adrian stumbles into town. What begins as a lively dinner conversation with a new friend becomes a haunting meditation on mortality—with a final twist that changes everything.
"A wondrous ode to friendship, loss, life and what may follow." - Eric Siblin, bestselling author of The Cello Suites
"Beautiful and heartbreaking and moving and so smart!" - Suzanne Zelazo, author of Lances All Alike
"A beautiful story… " - Anthony Wexler, University Writing Program, Johns Hopkins University
"One of the most powerful pieces of writing I've ever read… " - J.S.
"A MUST read for Leonard Cohen fans… " - Penni Kolb, executive director of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim
What happens to our dead? Is someone looking out for them on the other side? A Violet Light takes up these questions, exposing fiction's power to imagine what might happen to us on the other side of life. After a fatal accident, a young artist named Adrian finds himself seated at a table with an esteemed guide: the Montreal legend, Leonard Cohen. Together, over the course of a long meal at an idyllic bistro, the dead artists reflect on the meaning of their lives—the struggle to love, the pursuit of fame, and the pleasure of friendship. And slowly, with Leonard's help, Adrian experiences a form of self-acceptance denied him in life.
