Stories from the Afterlife Author: Quinn Dalton
Publisher: Press 53
Publication Date: November 1, 2007
 Ten stories. One question. What do you do when the life you knew becomes the Before?
In Stories from the Afterlife, ten men and women must navigate the unfamiliar territory of their new lives. A college student working at a beer drive-through falls in love with the owner's wife and contemplates murder to claim her until he faces his own brush with death. A man who has kept his sexuality a secret from his family must come home to help his brother cope with the loss of his wife. A woman reunites with a man she loved in her youth, and reluctantly saves the life of the teenaged girl next door. A camera store clerk with secret photographic aspirations meets his new neighbor, who has her own secrets. And a soap opera writer struggles to extricate her love life from the familiar formulas. "Quinn Dalton deserves recognition as a master in the realm of contemporary American letters."
-- Julianna Baggott, author of Girl Talk and The Madam "The flat-out perfectly drawn characters in Stories from the Afterlife will stick to me in much the same manner as Richard Ford's and Raymond Carver's."
-- George Singleton, author of Work Shirts for Manmen and These People are Us |
