The Unconsoled was created in 1995.

The Unconsoled has 535 pages.

It's from the short story 'A True Story' by Paul Villard.

-----But I was unconsoled. Why was it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to whole families, only to end as a heap of feathers feet up, on the bottom of a cage? She must have sensed my deep concern, for she quietly said, "Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in." Somehow, I felt better.-----
