The Number of Missing [Paperback]

Fiction. Beautifully raw and honest, Adam Berlin's novel follows two characters through the long darkness in New York after 9/11. This is about the running, the drinking, the standing still, and the unquantifiable missing. Berlin's book is shattering, real, first-person history, made intimate by a narrator forced to stare at himself against the hole of Ground Zero. —James Frey
