Overview

Jonathan Swanson is a former artist turned handyman. He fixes other people's pipes, sockets, doors, and boilers, while his own life has been standing face-first against the wall for years. A few days before Christmas, Jonathan wants only quiet: tea, a book, a walk through the park, and no emergency calls. Instead, he is sent to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where a serious plumbing problem has begun rising from below. Over the course of one strange night, Jonathan meets a prophetic park caretaker, surgeons in bear and elephant masks, doctors who joke about death, a technician who hears Brahms inside a pipe, and a neighbor who may have once belonged to a secret space program. God Was Busy With the Plumbing is an absurdist literary novella about loneliness, faith, the body, work, snow, and small forms of mercy. A darkly funny story about a world that cannot be fully repaired, but still needs someone to try.
