I'll check and see if I can get it in our little library here. I read the reviews, and they confirm your observation. Thanks.

Our little library is well-connected, and the book "Being Dead" should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think of it.

I just finished reading Jim Crace’s Being Dead. Excellent. Thank you for the recommendation. Reading novels is often a voyeuristic experience. The very personal tale of Joseph and Celice was doubly so. Don’t count on Heaven, or on Hell. You’re dead. That’s it. Adieu. Farewell. Eternity awaits? Oh, sure! It’s Putrefaction and Manure And unrelenting Rot, Rot, Rot, As you regress, from Zoo to Bot. I’ll Grieve, of course, Departing wife, Though Grieving’s never Lengthened Life Or coaxed a single extra Breath Out of a Body touched by Death. -- “The Biologist’s Valediction to His Wife” from Offcuts by Sherwin Stephens
