Rock Book of the Dead," chronicles the stories of 50 individuals the author once knew, compressing their lives and personal significance into brief essays Winik refers to as prose poems. Winik has an incredible ability to capture a wide range of characters with a few deft brush strokes, and to find connections between those lives and her own, between those experiences and our own.
“Although she’s known many people who died young, in sad or unsavory ways, the book is uplifting, funny and deep," says Marcia Menter of Moremagazine. “This is partly because Winik resists the temptation to be overly reverent or poetic, though there are plenty of graceful passages. Her fascinating, tiny tributes tell the bare-assed truth about relationships while coming together to create a portrait of Winik’s own imperfect, love-filled life.”
