Longer
“Blumlein gives us Waiting for Godot, set in space, in succinct and intelligent storytelling.”
“The story itself is spare and demands close attention, as whole worlds and lives are sketched with a few well-chosen details … This intriguing thought experiment will please readers who like to contemplate the meaning of it all.”
“Bittersweet and thought-provoking, Longer asks questions about quality of life, aging, and the ethics surrounding death … an excellent book for book clubs and anyone who enjoys a story that generates more questions than it answers, allowing for colorful discussions.”
