The living end

Resumen

A quintessential Elkin protagonist, Ellerbee is a good husband, a good employer, a good sport who cares greatly about his fellow human beings―until he is killed during a senseless liquor-store hold-up. Suddenly smote by a deity as indifferent as history, Ellerbee is off on a whirlwind tour of a distressingly familiar theme-park Heaven and inner-city Hell―to learn, along with his late coworkers and a marvelously vivid cast of characters, that much of what they’ve always heard about God’s love, God’s wrath, and the afterlife is, unfortunately, quite true.
