Is it death?” Aaron wonders, as he makes peace with his past and finds a place in the future. The Dead I Know (Paperback) Scot Gardner Published by Allen & Unwin, Sydney, 2011 ISBN 10: 1742373844 ISBN 13: 9781742373843 Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, U.S.A. Gardner’s rich novel combines flashes of dark humor, an elusive narrator, and a carefully rendered supporting cast to create profound moments that will linger in readers’ minds. While Aaron excels in his work and finds comfort in providing a person with “a final grace,” at his trailer-park home he’s dealing with his unpredictable Mam: “Sometimes she was lucid and practical other times she was a stormy two-year-old.” On top of everything, Aaron has recurring nightmares and sleepwalks, which puts him in increasingly dangerous situations. John leads Aaron through all of the aspects of the mortuary business, from attending funerals to assembling coffins and preparing the corpses, which is often shockingly gory. Aaron Rowe has attended five schools in five years when his school counselor suggests that he take a job with funeral director John Barton. ![]() ![]() Australian author Gardner delves powerfully into the psychology of loss and the complexities of memory. ![]()
