Greg Garrett's Blog: Greg on Goodreads - Posts Tagged "gilgamesh"

My new nonfiction book on the afterlife in literature and culture, Entertaining Judgment, is out (or not, depending on where you live, who you buy it from, and what platform you're reading on), but Goodreads has two weeks left in our giveaway, so do enter for a free hardcover! In this book, I'm reading everything from The Epic of Gilgamesh to A Christmas Carol to Groundhog Day to Harry Potter to discover the stories we tell about Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, and those strange in-between creatures, the Undead. It's my first book from one of the world's greatest publishers, Oxford University Press, and I'm doing a lot of writing about and speaking for it, so keep your eyes and ears open. The national book launch will be January 22 at Austin's great independent bookstore BookPeople!
