Cover of The Brief History of the Dead on the Open Library.

A story of existence after death, and how memories keep past loved ones alive (perhaps more than metaphorically). What happens when there is no one left to remember you?

Mentioned in an article listing several short story cycle style novels that I’m fond of (or was at the time).
