Dead (posthumous) Look at death with the eyes (?) of the dead and dying. This book comprises stories and insights, including diverse individuals, places, and times, threaded like a string of pearls by the stories of the author's death, of late 21st century Joe, and of Aki, an eighteenth-century Japanese noblewoman. Aki is supposed to save her family's honor by committing suicide but instead decides to explore the deeper meanings of life and death on a wild quest, switching from spiritual to deeply worldly instigations. The author's story ends with getting rid of his corpse, while Joe has been planning to end his life... - okay, you will find out.
