“I have always thought that the absence of god liberated us from an unbearable weight. But more than once, I have missed the idea of divine mercy when entering or leaving a hospital. Filled with seats, corridors, hierarchies and ceremonies of hope, silent on their upper floors, hospitals are the closest thing to a cathedral in which we unbelievers may tread.”
from Andrés Neuman’s haunting story, “Mother Backwards,” in Work in Progress. (Originally published in The Coffin Factory.)
