From the venue:
What happens when someone we know dies? In American Afterlife, Kate Sweeney weaves together a collective portrait of illuminating stories — of a funeral director, an obituary writer, even a Midwestern museum that takes us back in time to meet our death-obsessed Victorian progenitors — revealing something larger: a landscape that feels at once strange and familiar, one that’s by turns odd, tragic, poignant, and sometimes even funny. Sweeney will read from and sign copies of the book.
