Taking on the extreme subject of life and death, the novel explores the contradictions of human nature and the multitude of forms that life can take. When given seven days to live, the characters don’t run around ticking items off their bucket lists as we see in the familiar “terminal diagnosis” novel; instead, they are given seven days to go and truly experience the warmth that life has to offer.
Mr. Death’s Suicide Pact is a pure distillation of life in all its kindness and cruelty. Each story will leave readers with bittersweet, even tearful, resonances to savor.
