Las Intermitencias De La Muerte/death’s Intermissions

A new novel by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature offers a narrative centering on human perplexity when faced with one of the unavoidable realities of existence--death--when, in an unnamed country, death ceases its unflagging track and people stop dying and where a brief period of euphoria is followed by despair and chaos as people search for ways to trick death into killing them.
