“If there is one word to describe this beautiful and unsparing book, it is ‘truthful’: Christian Wiman interrogates pain, joy and God with a rare depth of honesty and a wonderful range of conversational partners, literary, mystical, scientific and more.”
― Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
“Here rests the true argument of Zero at the Bone: we read and write, pray—even if barely—and love others, create and destroy and recreate, so our beings may imitate a relentless God, in motion even as despair casts its great and changing shadows.”
― Aarik Danielsen [ From our forthcoming review ]
