The City is inhabited by the recently departed, who reside
there only as long as they remain in the memories of the
living. Among the current residents of this afterlife are
Luka Sims, who prints the only newspaper in the City, with
news from the other side; Coleman Kinzler, a vagrant who
speaks the cautionary words of God; and Marion and Phillip
Byrd, who find themselves falling in love again after
decades of marriage. On Earth, Laura Byrd is trapped by extreme weather in an
Antarctic research station. She's alone and unable to
contact the outside world: her radio is down and the power
is failing. She's running out of supplies as quickly as
she's running out of time. Kevin Brockmeier interweaves these two stories in a
spellbinding tale of human connections across boundaries of
all kinds. THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEAD is the work
of a remarkably gifted writer.
