What if you woke up on New Years Day and nobody had died?
That’s the premise of DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS, the new novel by Nobel Prize Winner Jose Saramago, author of the bestselling novel BLINDNESS (now a movie starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo).
Described as a “philosophical page-turner” in a starred Publishers Weekly review, DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS explores the unforeseen consequences of death taking a vacation. Celebration quickly turns to consternation when families are left to care for the permanently dying, life-insurance policies become meaningless, and funeral parlors are reduced to arranging burials for family pets.
Intrigued? Well, just to whet your appetite a little more, the nice people at Harcourt have made an excerpt of the book available!
