Sebastian Lazarus is dead. That should be the end of it. And yet he can reflect upon his past and his remains, alternately exhuming memories of a journey made across Africa and chronicling his corpse's dust-to-dust decay. A travelogue of the soul, a memoir of two hearts entwined, Dance Me on the Table follows Yayuk Kertanegara, an Indonesian Muslim, and Sebastian Lazarus, her American atheist consort, over landscapes bleak to beautiful, commonplace to bizarre - contrasts mirrored by the mismatched pair themselves... ...with a companion short story (epitaph or foreshadowing) entitled "dog be".
