Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. MY UNTIMELY DEATH is a collection of short prose pieces about a series of touching but absurd deaths. Death here doesn't simply mean the expiration of life, but a meandering through metaphors, similes, explanations, often hilarious, always poetic and spot-on in their language choice. Wildly funny, poignant, exhilarating meditations that fracture and reassemble everything we know and believe about living and dying. Adam Peterson reinvents the notion of story here, dismantling the lines between genres and creating a gorgeous new kind of prose with voice that is simply irresistible. You can't stop reading this book again and again--Jonis Agee.
