How the Dead Live - Will Self

Description

How the Dead Live Author: Will Self Publisher: Publicações Europa-América Literary Genre: Novel Book Condition: Good condition Synopsis What is life truly like for the dead? Lily Bloom was coarse, dissolute, treacherous, and unpleasant in life, and death has certainly not softened her. She has changed residence, of course, and now lives in a cellar in a London neighborhood reserved for those who no longer need to bother with breathing or eating; but if there has been any change in her temperament, it is decidedly for the worse. She finds it difficult to tolerate the company of the calcified fetus that leaps from her abdomen at the moment of her death, of her deceased son who persistently insults everyone, and of three grotesque creatures fashioned from the fat she spent her entire life trying to shed. And she must still endure her living daughters: one a heroin addict who sleeps with everyone, and the other a businesswoman brazen enough to mirror her father’s expression of stupefaction… Publication Date: January 2003 Price includes postal shipping after payment via MB Way or bank transfer.
