Why A Book?

I'm on a Boat (to the Afterlife): Elsewhere


Listen Later

Liz Hall’s life was cut short, but her afterlife feels like it goes on forever. Try to find any shred of plot as Mary explains what happens after you die in Gabrielle Zevin’s, Elsewhere. Liz ages backwards from 15, has a big angst party about it, dates a 35 year old man (which is fine because he only looks 17), and accomplishes exactly 2 things before getting sent back to Earth as a newborn baby. Wear a bike helmet, kids.

Zevin, Gabrielle. Elsewhere. Douglas & McIntyre, 2005.
