Items related to A Matter Of Death And Life
Marital troubles? Sick of life? Suicide the answer? Why not get yourself a contract killer? Nothing easier, provided you communicate only by phone and box number. You give him your photograph, specify when and in which caf- to find you, then sit back and prepare to die. Murdered, you will be of greater interest than ever you were in life. More to him than met the eye will be the judgment. Our perpetually glum hero meticulously plans his own demise, expect for one detail: if he suddenly decides he wants to live, what then? This darkly funny tale is Kurkov on top form. (2004-06-24)

This little book is truly very funny. -- Omer Ali, Time Out
With a style ranging from the sombre to the quietly hilarious, Kurkov's is a world in which we accept the ordinariness of the absurd. Another modern masterpiece from the author of the highly acclaimed Death and the Penguin.
