How the dead live
stories
by Alvin Greenberg
- 1 Want to read
How the Dead Live is filled not with victims of the many major traumas of our times but with individuals whose lives have been wrested from their control by the random impact of the commonplace: by accident and disease, by urban chaos, by the lost and the found.
Greenberg's stories are full of people who are buried in their own lives and struggling with whatever crude tools come to hand - humor, despair, confrontation, acceptance - to carve out a little underground space where they can breathe. Through small moments of the ridiculous and larger moments of emotional conversation, the stories re-enact the drama of how we are all to survive our own immersion in the inexplicable.
