Publisher's Synopsis
Elijah Newman thinks he is returning home to his wife from a trip when, like an Ivan Ilyich, he instead finds himself unexpectedly thrust before death. Wonder over what might have been, gratitude for all that was, hope for what could perhaps still be, and love of both God and existence--Elijah Newman Died Today is an existentialist novella about one man's thoughts on what matters amid what may be his life's final moments.
