A Retrospect in Death

At the beginning of this visionary tale, the unnamed protagonist has just died. By the time the reader is inexorably drawn to the conclusion ofA Retrospect in Death, theonly uncovered fact about the narrator, who could be any man or every man, is his name. Reviewing his life with his higher self - his connection to the Creator - its joyous triumphs and staggering sorrows, the narrator examines the scope, worthiness, and purpose of all that has happened over the course of his days.
 
Once again, J. Conrad Guest challenges and conquers another genre; indeed, he has written a compelling, haunting novel that cannot be characterized, but leaves no doubt that the reader is in the capable hands of a superior author.
