Afterlife

With sparkling curiosity, Afterlife considers everything, in alphabetical order, beginning with the death of the narrator's sister and tumbling through tales of horses who play horses on TV, a population determined to kill half its members off, and a government experiment to drop zinc cadmium sulfide over an unsuspecting American city in 1950. While unfolding the fraught relationship between the sisters, Afterlife asks us to attend to what we have, while we watch it slip away.
