Afterlife
Forthcoming in 2026 from Fiction Collective Two
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.
—Marcus Pactor, author of Begat Who Begat Who Begat
“Angela Woodward has fashioned an uncanny and dazzling new reference book that will leave readers entirely spellbound. Afterlife is its own universe populated with animals, vegetables, minerals, heavy metals, dead sisters, dead writers and a fearless narrator who holds nothing back.”
—Robert Lopez, author of The Best People
Ink
New Poetry & Prose series from University Press of Kentucky
” …this novel curses all cleansers, all fresheners, all distractions, all entertainment, willing our national stains to set. Reading this book…it’s like I’d forgotten novels could be provocative.
—Joe Sacksteder, author of Make/Shift and Driftless Quintet
