    Summary

    Death, as any salesman will tell you, is the process by which the existential dust that all people and animals and plants and some lakes are made out of finally ceases the energetic process of expending itself. Death is when the machinery of being gives up the ghost, so to speak. Death is not the primal dumpster of slavery (to quote Patricia Williams) nor the spectral something-ness of the disappeared (to paraphrase Avery Gordon).

    Death is a yielding love letter to the stars. Put another way: Death is un-American.

    or: Sam drives out to Seattle. It takes him a year to get back.
