This audacious, stunning novel will neither sooth critics nor disappoint readers. It is an account of a man looking back on a period of his life which has drained him utterly. Told through a series of letters, it takes place after the death of Lish's wife of several decades, Barbara, who died at home after a long and paralyzing illness. Epigraph is both bitterly self-critical and merciless in its assessment of the motivations and failings of others.
