Looks like Joe Di Prisco's ALL FOR NOW is going to be a favorite with booksellers:
"Joseph Di Prisco has crafted a completely original thriller. What happens
AFTER we die? It's the question Brother Stephen asks in Di Prisco's All for
Now. Can Brother Stephen solve the case he was working on when he died or can he discover how he got where he is and why he's still here? The quick pace and sharp writing make All for Now a book you can't bear to put down." – Kathleen Caldwell, A Great Good Place for Books
“It is especially moving to read a book that looks so broadly at the ubiquitous issue of Roman Catholicism and pedophilia. Brother Stephen, the novel's narrator and protagonist, dies suddenly in the midst of managing a lawsuit dealing with the alleged abuse of a former student by his former mentor - Brother Charlie. Shannon, the plaintiff, is also a former "friend" of Stephen's. The distance that the afterlife affords Stephen gives the book its psychological charge. Suddenly, it is simultaneously the late 1960's and the present moment, and our culturally shifting views of this ever-existing problem collide. Joseph Di Prisco has given us a brave, bumbling, soul-searching hero whose wry humor only enhances his honesty.”
