House built of rain

by Russell Thornton

Science & Nature

2003

"House Built of Rain is a dizzying journey of human experience. Oscillating from the moment of conception to the moment of death, tranquil forests to smoky urban bars, abuse to tenderness. Russell Thornton shows us beauty in a scream, ecstasy in violence and, in a dying breath, the universe. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
