Until Further Notice, I Am Alive by Tom Lubbock

4.0

Quite a sombre read that tracks the final moments of Tom Lubbock’s life, derived from his journal of sorts. The contents of the book are quite grey and depressing, although the way he reflects on his life prompts a lot of moments of thinking for the reader. The way Lubbock makes a comparison between his gradual decay of being able to use language and his physical body shutting down is a unique angle in capturing death and enhances the imagery of sadness that underpins the text.

A book that encourages reflection, if you’re looking for that type of thing.
