On the night everything ended, four hundred people rose to their feet and applauded.
For fifteen years he has taught other people how to live. He is very good at it. The rooms stand and weep and go home unchanged.
Then a man he failed years ago comes back, changed, and will not say how. There is a path, is all he offers. It is not on any map.
The terms are simple and impossible. Six months. No schedule he can control, no result he can preview, no way out he can find in advance.
Below him, a business winds down and the money thins by the week. And there is his wife, who told him to go, and to come back, and meant both.
That is the easy part.
The Standing Ovation is a novel about the life we defend and the life we long for, and the difference between being applauded and being seen.
