Reincarnation Blues: A Novel

Reincarnation Blues: A Novel

A wildly imaginative novel about a man who is reincarnated over ten thousand lifetimes to be with his one true love: Death herself.

â€œTales of gods and men akin to Neil Gaimanâ€™s Sandman as penned by a kindred spirit of Douglas Adams.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

First we live. Then we die. And then . . . we get another try?Â

Ten thousand tries, to be exact. Ten thousand lives to â€œget it right.â€ Answer all the Big Questions. Achieve Wisdom. And Become One with Everything.
Â Â Â
Milo has had 9,995 chances so far and has just five more lives to earn a place in the cosmic soul. If he doesnâ€™t make the cut, oblivion awaits. But all Milo really wants is to fall forever into the arms of Death. Or Suzie, as he calls her.

More than just Miloâ€™s lover throughout his countless layovers in the Afterlife, Suzie is literally his reason for livingâ€”as he dives into one new existence after another, praying for the day heâ€™ll never have to leave her side again.
Â Â Â Â
But Reincarnation Blues is more than a great love story: Every journey from cradle to grave offers Milo more pieces of the great cosmic puzzleâ€”if only he can piece them together in time to finally understand what it means to be part of something bigger than infinity. As darkly enchanting as the works of Neil Gaiman and as wisely hilarious as Kurt Vonnegutâ€™s, Michael Pooreâ€™s Reincarnation Blues is the story of everything that makes life profound, beautiful, absurd, and heartbreaking.

Because itâ€™s more than Milo and Suzieâ€™s story. Itâ€™s your story, too.
