Prayers for the Living
"Prayers for the Living" is the latest novel of NPR book commentator Alan Cheuse.
And right now Alan needs many of your prayers.
The week before, friends of 20+ years shared a wonderful week with Alan at the annual conference of the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley . On Tuesday, after leaving the board meeting, Alan was in a serious car accident, which was further complicated by a subdural hematoma. He underwent brain surgery and is now in critical condition in the ICU at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. His family is with him.
As a regular NPR book review commentator on "All Things Considered," Alan has been instrumental in letting millions know of the new fiction books that are released each year, including those books by less-well known authors, whose fiction might otherwise have gone unheralded. He is a much-loved professor at George Mason University, a novelist, short story writer, memoirist, and an editor of a book on writing, as well as a workshop leader and board member of the Community of Writers.
We know there are many friends, colleagues, fans, and NPR listeners who want to join in sending healing thoughts, prayers, and love. You can get updates on http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/ala...
