The Children's Hospital

Chris Adrian

Original title: The children's hospital

first published 2006 Granta, 2012

Opens with the world ending under seven sudden miles of water. The survivors are those caught on a random night in a very unusual children's hospital. Part tales of and by an unlikely hero of a medical student, part mythic narrative as thought by the recording angel responsible for watching and crhonicling events that represent a third covenant of God with the world.
