Kneller's Happy Campers

Edgar Keret

This story is another afterlife story, where each person goes to different places depending on how they die.  Mordy, who killed himself, essentially lives an everyday life just as it was before he killed himself. He met Kurt Cobain, found out that there are small miracles that happen all the time in that world, and helped an undercover agent bust a cult ring who believed one of their leaders was Jesus. All of this was unintentional because all he was trying to do was find his girlfriend named Desiree who killed herself to meet with fake Jesus. Along the way he meets a suicide bomber, a girl name Lihi who ODed and wants to find a way to appeal her place in the afterlife, and an Eskimo who starts dating his roommate. 

Overall it is a very interesting story. I personally love short stories like these, which force your brain to take in new ideas. It shows how not only is there an afterlife, but each person goes to an afterlife depending on the way you die. This story shows the danger of suicide in a not very noticeable way, by talking about the affects your death can have on someone close to you, and also by talking about how much the afterlife for people who kill themselves is a shithole.
