Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An aching awareness of mortality...suffuses every scene in Carol Muske-Dukes' luminous new novel, which turns a tale of sudden loss into an astonishing meditation on love and bereavement."
--Newsday

"Carol Muske-Dukes's writing is filled with poignancy and humor, achieved through her understanding of what
it means to encounter death through the peculiar circumstance of being alive."
--Steve Martin

"In her passionate novel Life After Death, Carol Muske-Dukes takes us right up against the edge where all lives end. Her prose is stunning, as always; and her fusion of grief and laughter and rage is extraordinary."
--Ursula Hegi

"Daring and full of surprises, this story takes on the big questions and holds them up to the light, examining them, shifting them. We see life after death--and life before death--from many angles. In scenes rendered with crisp, lucid prose, we are given a range of perspectives on being human; some are recognizable and some are entirely new."
--Elizabeth Strout
