Coming from Counterpoint, 10/9/18. Read an excerpt here.

7/9/18: Library Journal names the book an Editors' Pick for Fall: "Empathy figures in Marion Winik’s The Baltimore Book of the Dead, along with her sharp eye and wicked wit. This sequel to The Glen Rock Book of the Dead has more achingly beautiful and succinct obituaries of the people (and a few pets) from Winik’s wide, idiosyncratic circle of family, friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemies. This superfast read will spur rereading and the terrible wish that more people in Winik’s circle would expire just so she could memorialize them.”
