Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Explaining the plot of a Jim Krusoe novel is like talking a friend through the hairpin turns of a marvelous, fantastical dream: halfway through you realize it's not just about what happens next, but about some mysterious and vital knowledge. ERASED explores questions that can't be answered, but that must be asked: what does it mean to cross over from life to death? How different are those two states, really? And what better way to puzzle that out than to go on a Kafkaesque rodent hunt and a deeply ironic yet fully redemptive tour of Cleveland? (Well, why not Cleveland?) I loved this book for its piercing gaze, its absurdist heart; its humorous soul. I'll read it a third time on one of those afternoons when I want to feel meditative--but also laugh.

When Theodore receives a postcard saying "I need to see you,” he initially ignores it — after all, it’s unsettling to open mail from one’s dead mother. But when another card arrives he can no longer put off the urgent meeting, and so Theodore treks to Cleveland to track his mother down. In this strange, thoughtful novel by Jim Krusoe, Theodore travels through the worlds of Uleene, a member of the all-girl biker club Satan’s Samaritans; art; rodent extermination; and sport fishing, all the while realizing that the line between life and death is remarkably fluid.
