DelawareScene: Conversation with John Kenney, author of I See You've Called in Dead @ Lewes Public Library

Conversation with John Kenney, author of I See You've Called in Dead

Join Lewes Public Library, Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild, and Browseabout Books in-person at the library or online for a conversation with John Kenney, author of I See You've Called in Dead. Kenney will be in conversation with Maribeth Fischer, author of three acclaimed novels and the founder and executive director of the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild.

Obituary writer Bud Stanley isn't really living his best life. He's fallen into a funk after a divorce. (She left him for another man, who, in fairness, was far more interesting.) He's not doing his job well. He's given up on dating. And he's about to be fired for accidentally publishing his own obituary one mildly drunken night (though technically the company can't legally fire a dead person). As Bud awaits his fate at work, he does the only logical thing: He goes to the wakes and funerals of total strangers to learn how to live again.

Kenney is the New York Times bestselling author of Love Poems for Married People and the novels Talk to Me and Truth in Advertising, which won the Thurber Prize for American Humor. He is a longtime contributor to The New Yorker and lives in Larchmont, New York.
