From Jack Chase, author of Made in America, comes his twelfth title in twelve months-and his most personal to date.
Francesca Frankie Walsh is thirty-two, brilliant, and barely holding it together in New York's underground comedy circuit.
When a terminal brain tumor gives her three months, she stops pretending to plan for a future and starts workshopping the bit. Then she meets Paul Hayes, a once-promising lounge singer with late-stage Parkinson's who can't play guitar anymore but still sings like the world is listening. What starts as an unlikely friendship becomes something heavier, stranger, and inevitably devastating as the clock rapidly runs out on them both.
A sharp, intimate story about timing, mortality, and the people we find right before the dark.
