Advance praise for Afterlife: “Each of Afterlife’s chapters is an entry in a highly compressed, highly unorthodox encyclopedia of the “preposterous spectacle of civilization.” Everything that has always drawn me to Angela Woodward’s fiction—her dry wit; iceberg prose; and especially her imaginative meanders, digressions, and explorations—is on spectacular display here.
