The brief history of the dead

Brockmeier, Kevin. (Author).

Summary: The City is inhabited by the recently departed, who reside there only as long as they remain in the memories of the living. Among the current residents of this afterlife are Luka Sims, who prints the only newspaper in the City, with news from the other side; Coleman Kinzler, a vagrant who speaks the cautionary words of God; and Marion and Philip Byrd, who found themselves falling in love again after decades of marriage. On Earth, Laura Byrd is trapped by extreme weather in an Antarctic research station. She's alone and unable to contract the outside world: her radio is down and the power is failing. She's running out of time. --[Book Jacket].
