In the aftermath of a farcical hostage-taking plot and failed suicide, Nathan Huffnagle makes a hospital-bed deal with Death—-the Big Guy himself. Will he receive the release he desires? Or a new lease on life? Infused with humor and sadness, restless longing and regret, flights of fantasy and the sheer contrariness of life, The End Is Near is a tale of redemption like none you've read before.
