520    "In The Narrow Door, Paul Lisicky creates a compelling 
       collage of scenes and images drawn from two long-term 
       relationships, one with a woman novelist and the other 
       with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours of these 
       relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched
       by the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and 
       Paul's romance begins to falter. And the world around them
       is frail: environmental catastrophes like the Deepwater 
       Horizon oil spill, natural disasters like the earthquake 
       in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling 
       backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer 
       diagnosis and Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's 
       compassionate heart and resilience seem all the stronger 
       in the face of such searing losses. His survival--hard-won,
       unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning toward 
       loss, we embrace life."--Page [4] of cover.
