Jack O'Connell


Genre


Part classic noir thriller, part mind-bending fantasy, The Resurrectionist is a wild ride into a territory where nothing is as it appears. It is the story of Sweeney, a druggist by trade, and his son, Danny, the victim of an accident that has left him in a persistent coma. Hoping for a miracle, they have come to the fortress-like Peck Clinic, whose doctors claim to have resurrected two patients who were lost in the void, hoping for a miracle. What Sweeney comes to realize, though, is that the real cure to his sons condition may lie in Limbo, a fantasy comic book world into which his son had been drawn at the time of his accident.

Quotes by Jack O'Connell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You think you know death, but you don't, not until you've seen it, really seen it... And it gets under your skin and lives inside you.

You also think you know life, stand on the edge of things and what you go by but you're not living it, not really, you're just a tourist, a ghost, then you see it, really see it, it gets under your skin and lives inside you, and there's no escape, there's nothing to be done, and you know what? it's good, it's a good thing.

And that’s all I’ve got to say about it.”
Jack O'Connell

“It's an old story, really: seduced and corrupted, in the end, by an obsessive love for the text.”
Jack O'Connell, Word Made Flesh

“Because to live forever with a grief that deforms the heart is unacceptable—an abomination that must not be tolerated.”
Jack O'Connell, The Resurrectionist
