Why read it?

1 author picked The Duppy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I have to say, hands down, this is one of my favorite authors.

This humorous but philosophical book challenges our understanding of death and the afterlife. It is told from the protagonist's point of view after he dies from a heart attack. It’s a laugh-out-loud satirical recanting of Heaven while making significant political, social, and religious commentary
