As reported by Shelf Awareness, author and NPR book reviewer Alan Cheuse remains in a coma after having been seriously injured in a car accident as he was driving from the annual conference of the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley to Santa Cruz, Calif., last week. He was transported to the hospital with broken ribs and a broken vertebrate in his neck. On Friday, however, he suffered an acute subdural hematoma, had emergency brain surgery, "and is now in an intense and critical recovery period. This will likely be a long period of time," according to the Caring Bridge page Cheuse's family created to share updates about his condition.
