Status Updates From Preparation for the Next Life

I am thoroughly enjoying this Atticus Lish novel, which I have had as a Nook book for a long time, and am finally reading. For the longest time, I would stare at it in my Nook library, having some kind of vague idea of what it was about, but being completely wrong. I am pulling for these characters and am very impressed that a lot of the action takes place here in New York City, especially in Flushing, Queens. :)
