A chance encounter on the New York subway brings two strangers to an old apartment, where they must make an extreme decision. Black, an ex-convict and former addict, wants to convince White, a disillusioned professor, of the power of faith. Their dialogue traverses two opposing worldviews and seeks the meaning of life.
The play was originally published in 2006, and this Picador edition came out in February 2011. The book's subtitle is «A Novel in Dramatic Form».
For readers of theatre and philosophical fiction, and for those seeking a dialogue about faith and despair.
