Funny, insightful based on the great premise that a burned out obituary writer one night drunkenly submits his own totally fictional obituary for publication and all the ramifications of that action. Kenney has so many astute observations about the human condition. Definitely will be reading more of his work!

DID NOT FINISH: 57%

Felt pandery, shallow, aimed to be deep. Too many good books to read to finish this one.
