Obituary Man #[nn]

Philippe Girard's Obituary Man opens with a quietly arresting image: a suited, bespectacled man balancing arms-outstretched atop a sloped rooftop, a church steeple visible in the background against a vivid blue sky. There's something both precarious and oddly liberated about the figure's pose — poised between gravity and flight, with a streetlamp standing witness below. This 2013 Conundrum Press release promises a story with an offbeat, darkly human sensibility right from its cover.
