Imagine a place between heaven and earth.

    A city where everyone ends up after they die. This city looks like any other, with trees and houses and newspapers, where people work, drink coffee and fall in love. And here they remain, kept alive by the memories of those left behind on earth.

    Kevin Brockmeier's magical novel tells the story of this city's inhabitants, as they try to make sense of the world where they now find themselves. And it is also the story of Laura, a girl trapped in the Antarctic fighting for her life. How these two stories connect is brilliantly revealed. The Brief History of the Dead is a novel that lives long in the minds of all who under its spell.
