Saint Sebastian's Abyss

I heard of this from The Mookse and the Gripes podcast, looked it up, and thought it sounded so interesting. Two old friends, who bonded and fell out over an artist, reunite on ones deathbed. It sounds so simple, and it really is, but it's done so well, so interestingly. It's really about the artist and the painting in a lot of ways. There's bits of history of the artist, as well as of our unnamed narrator and friend. The way it's written is so well done, but really different from what I'm used to. I really loved this. I dragged out finishing because I didn't want to be done. Hopefully the library will get Hager's other book too.
