This Living and Immortal Thing inhabits a world of medicine, research, cancer and death. Its disillusioned and often darkly funny narrator is an Irish oncologist, who is searching for a scientific breakthrough in the lab of a New York hospital while struggling with his failing marriage and his growing alienation within the city's urban spaces.

And always there is the pull of family, of the place he considers home.
Shot through with Duffy's haunting, beautiful descriptions of the
