Intriguing collection of connected short stories that are spun around travel, anatomy and embalming. From these deftly written and loosely connected stories, we learn a lot about human anatomy. Ultimately, i felt the message of the book was to convey the idea that we are all travelers through life, without the ability to preserve life as would a mortician.
