The Sound Inside - Paperback

by Adam Rapp (Author)

"A brutally beautiful fable about how writers live to write--and then forget to live." --David Cote, Observer

When Bella Baird, an isolated creative writing professor at Yale, begins to mentor a brilliant but enigmatic student, Christopher, the two form an unexpectedly intense bond. As their lives and the stories they tell about themselves become intertwined in unpredictable ways, Bella makes a surprising request of Christopher. Brimming with suspense, Rapp's riveting play explores the limits of what one person can ask of another.
