Reviews
"Starred Review. A wonderfully speculative patchwork quilt on the meaning of life and death." -- Kirkus Reviews
"[A] diversity of views, yet a consistently high level of thought. Their eloquent introduction sets up these pieces, several of them previously published. Suffusing the collection as a whole is the humility expressed by Lynne Tillman at the end of her essay: "Of death, mortals are absolutely ignorant. The dead, fortunately, are beyond caring." Ultimately, these readings may bring the reader some comfort to realize, perhaps again, that we are all in this together." -- Alan Moores - Seattle Times
