Paperback. Lately contends with the issues of life elongating, if we're lucky enough, and does so with bluntness and thoughtfulness and a certain amount of wit. When love fades and our dead haunt us, when the body reveals its follies and the scars add up, when "hope's canteen runs dry" and God turns their head, where do we find joy? And what of the mysterious border that separates life and death, those of us approaching one side, our passports open, and those on the nether side whom we love and have lost, how do we keep from giving up to grief? More importantly, how do we reconcile our yearning for certainty with the knowledge that we can never really be certain? Lately takes us on a journey, a kind of search party, hunting for hope and mercy and the surprising light that drives us inward, toward it. Lately contends with the issues of life elongating, and does so with bluntness, thoughtfulness and a certain amount of wit.

About this title

Synopsis

Lately contends with the issues of life elongating, if we're lucky enough, and does so with bluntness and thoughtfulness and a certain amount of wit. When love fades and our dead haunt us, when the body reveals its follies and the scars add up, when "hope's canteen runs dry" and God turns their head, where do we find joy? And what of the mysterious border that separates life and death, those of us approaching one side, our passports open, and those on the nether side whom we love and have lost, how do we keep from giving up to grief? More importantly, how do we reconcile our yearning for certainty with the knowledge that we can never really be certain? Lately takes us on a journey, a kind of search party, hunting for hope and mercy and the surprising light that drives us inward, toward it.
