The Regrets by Amy Bonnaffons

4.5

I really enjoyed this weird, existentialist book about love, sex, and death. In it, a man dies, then awakens after a sort of bureaucratic error. Later, a woman falls in love with the man, who is already dead. The switch between perspectives was between very dissonant voices and in fact separate stories, which helped to heighten the sort of anxious incorporeality of the novel. I think it would make a pretty bad movie, but I hope someone makes it into a movie anyway because it would be my favorite kind, and would slot perfectly into a film series/collection I have about the fear of death.
