Death Wins A Goldfish

Even Death needs a work-life balance...

The Grim Reaper never took a day off. That is, until he received a letter from Human Resources insisting he take his accrued vacation days. In this humorous and heartwarming book by beloved illustrator Brian Rea, readers get a peek into Death's journal entries as he chronicles his forced sabbatical in the land of the living. From skydiving to online dating, Death is determined to try everything! Death Wins a Goldfish is an important reminder to the stressed, the overworked, and the overwhelmed: everyone—even Death—needs a break now and then.

If you loved Brian Rea’s work in Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club: A Memoir or his illustrations for the popular New York Times column “Modern Love,” you will adore his delightful illustrations of Death in this funny and heartwarming collection.
