The Shadow Box is the story of three terminal patients at a secluded hospital, all of whom have agreed to sit for a series of psychological interviews. The three live in cabins, the titular Shadow Boxes, on the hospital grounds. Their neuroses and their feelings about their impending deaths are probed in depth during the interviews, which serve as frame devices for the characters to expound on their pasts and on their motivations.
Boasting the largest collection of book summaries, BookRags is the best option for titles you can't find elsewhere. They offer all of the basics (quotes, chapter summary, characters, historical context, literary criticism) but also walk through a few major topics that recur throughout the book, which can be particularly useful for essay writing.
