by Richard Powers
Paperback / softback
Description
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED BEWILDERMENT AND THE OVERSTORYIn the paediatrics ward of a public hospital, a group of sick children is gathering.
The surrogate parents of this band - a tired, overworked surgical resident and a therapist - are charged with prolonging their lives using storytelling and make-believe alone. Operation Wandering Soul is a novel about imagination and memory.
At once a social indictment and an intensely emotional account of intimate need, it asks how we might keep alive, a little longer, the vanishing narratives of childhood. 'Richard Powers is the most intellectually stimulating novelist at work in the English language today' Daily Telegraph
