"After Life is not only deeply moving, but written with profound integrity. It is saturated with compassion and in this lies its intense moral power."--Anne Michaels, author of Fugitive Pieces "A disturbingly powerful journey into the violence of everyday life and the inner world of literature. The enigmatic and courageous characters of After Life jump off the page and change the ways we think about human agency today."--Joao Biehl, author of Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment
