"Requiem for the Bone Man" is a moving, compelling first novel, told with the assurance and skill of a born storyteller. It is also a meditation on the art of healing, as seen in the adventures of its unforgettable central character, Dr. Robert Galen. From his youth as a streetsmart son of immigrants, to his career as a gifted physician, Galen is tough-minded yet compassionate. Above all, he is deeply human, willing to risk the pain of loss and failure that inevitably comes to those with an unshakeable commitment to a vocation and to friends and loved ones.
Author Robert Comunale, himself a doctor, has given us further proof, if any is needed, that fiction can often be the deepest form of truth.
–William Gavin, author of "One Hell of a Candidate"
