3/50: The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier

The City is where people go after they die. They can stay as long as there is someone alive who remembers them at all, in any capacity. However, a deadly virus is wiping out Earth’s population. What happens to the City?

Brockmeier explores this in an incredibly interesting and thought-provoking way. I had to read it for my Contemporary American Literature class and was pleasantly surprised by how readable it was. 

I give it a 4/5.
