Description of Thanks For Being Here The Joy of Funerals

Kelly shares an excerpt from her friend Alix Strauss’ book, The Joy of Funeral: A Novel in Stories, which has just been reissued in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

From the very first page, readers are drawn into the strange, often humorous world where nine women grapple with sex, power, love, and death. When read as a collection, they are anchored together by the novella, "The Joy of Funerals," which follows the life of Nina, a lonely, single thirty-something woman who attends the funerals of the deceased characters in the previous stories. Thinking her ‘funeraling’ habit is under control, Nina slips seamlessly in and out of these proceedings, and these people's lives, until, of course, she's found out.
