Very Lonely Planet

Book Recommendation - 'The Brief History of the Dead' - Kevin Brockmeier.

A virulent plague, a motley crew of the recently deceased & the urban cartography of an ever-changing necropolis populate the narrative of Brockmeier's 'Brief History'. More interesting though, are the author's speculations concerning the after-life, how we affect one another though our daily connections and more importantly the memories (or not) we keep within us all. This is a good book for a lazy summer afternoon.
