“AFTERLIFE” is an allegorical exploration into hereafter - Life, they say, is a journey from the beginning to the end but is the end, really finality or is there something else, something better beyond? No one really knows though many have tried to guess. Tim I. Gurung, a former Gurkha soldier, businessman, husband and father, has tried to explain what may be there in his “Afterlife.” Clearly written, using everyday language that is often lyrical, Gurung presents a vision strongly influenced by Buddha’s teachings (the afterlife is a series of stages).

As we travel onward, we become better and better, working toward higher stages of being. Gurung’s premise is fascinating. The protagonist is one Enos Bronte, who finds himself ascending to some destination. At first blind to the beings around him, Enos becomes more aware of his surroundings. Bronte finds himself rising and falling, sometimes falling off cliffs with thousands of others. His journey, which includes a point where he saves himself by falling onto and up a tree, is an allegorical look at the hereafter.

Gurung has a savvy imagination. When he has Enos riffing with the Lord, it is a real hoot. It is a piece of writing that illustrates just how good Gurung is at his craft. His writing is simply complex. It seems so simply written when you first look at it that you don’t see the deeper meanings the author has conveyed. They are there, though, waiting for you to find them. They also help to make this interesting work highly enjoyable. It is an interesting read.” – AFTERLIFE BY INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR TIM I GURUNG
