Description: A book of dualities, probing the small spaces between lucidity and madness, desire and ambivalence, the living and the absent. Both an evocation of her love for her husband David Foster Wallace and an act of defiance in the face of devastating loss, Bough Down is a lapidary, keenly observed and composed work, awash with the honesty of an open heart.

Review Quotes: The book hints at healing, but with such stream-of-consciousness prose and a traumatic subject, closure may be too much to hope for: Green's last words on the subject are an abrupt: "I can't wrap this up."--Editors "Publisher's Weekly"
