The Joy of Funerals by Alix Strauss

A young widow who lusts, a daughter who aches, a shopaholic who hungers...The Joy Of Funerals is a riveting collection that explores the lives of nine young women, each willing to take drastic measures to fill the voids created by longing and loneliness. The first eight face death differently, while the ninth woman, Nina, ties them all together by attending funerals in her search to connect with others. Written with raw wit, mordant humour and a uniquely penetrating voice, Strauss turns the spotlight on loss and grief. This is a provocative look into the inner world of those left behind, and those still holding on.

Alix Strauss is a lifestyle trend writer whose work has featured in publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Her debut novel is The Pleasure of Funerals. She currently resides in New York City.
