Produktbeschreibung
After sixty-eight-year-old David Granger crashes his BMW, medical tests reveal a brain tumor that he readily attributes to his wartime Agent Orange exposure. He wakes up from surgery repeating a name—that of a Native American soldier he calls Clayton Fire Bear. David is determined to return something precious he long ago stole from the man; it may be the only way to find closure in a world increasingly at odds with the one he served to protect.  As David confronts his past to salvage his present, a poignant portrait emerges: that of an opinionated and good-hearted American patriot fighting to stay true to his red, white, and blue heart, even as the country he loves rapidly changes in ways he doesn’t always like or understand. By turns hilarious, insightful, and completely unexpected, The Reason You’re Alive offers a powerful exploration of how the secrets and debts we carry from our past define us.

Rezensionen
"The author of The Silver Linings Playbook delivers another engaging and screen-ready dramedy about an irascible misfit on a mission for closure." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Quick's prose is sharp and cutting . . . The Reason You're Alive is a compact powerhouse of a novel. Though brief, it's subversive, unexpected, and utterly compelling Booklist (Starred Review)
