The Writers Afterlife is the story of Tom Chillo, a
44-year-old writer on the verge of fame, who suddenly dies
of a stroke and finds himself transported to a place where
all writers are sent after they die. After mingling with
“The Eternals” — including Shakespeare, Wilde, Keats, and
Tolstoy — he discovers that his true peers in this new world
are all haunted by the same regret: they never achieved the
fame they felt they deserved during their lifetime. There’s
still a chance, though. Every writer has the opportunity to
return to earth for exactly one week and convince someone to
set the wheels in motion to give their life’s work
widespread notoriety. The trick is to come up with the perfect plan the first
time. Failure is not an option. The Writers Afterlife is
brimming with warm humor, New York street sensibility, and
an underlying commentary about the drive for fame in
contemporary culture. With a deft hand, Vetere explores the
deceptions that people employ to achieve at all costs. A
string of eccentric New York characters fly off the page and
make for a striking, memorable book that is a delight to read.
