The Afterlife: A Memoir by Donald Antrim

2.0

I can't recommend this book. While I'm sure the author meant it to be cathartic to write about his mother's passing, it was meandering, getting lost in a story inside another story. Lengthy descriptions of a kimono and the childhood home dragged on. Maybe even a little... grandiose? I initially pushed through in the hope it would get better, but then it didn't and I was close to finishing, so I did.
