Set over the course of one winter at a hospital in Washington, "Across the River" is a linked series of stories about the trials of the body and their meaning for the spirit. From the psychology of brain surgeons, to a suicide who has time to regret his act, to a college student's first encounter with blood, "Across the River" brings together separate voices telling the common tale of how thinking beings encounter their own mortality.
