Overview

No Silence in the Afterlife comes out of live performances/lectures and experiments in dying and mourning, as author Abou Farman's partner of 15 years, Leo, was leaving her flesh due to a metastatic cancer. After her medically certified death, Leo kept returning in many forms--including, significantly, a cockroach. After this and years of breaking down his own rigid secular ramparts working as an anthropologist on questions of immortality, Farman fully embraced the afterlife as his life. What lies between these covers has been shaped by explorations in an invented afterlife practice. No Silence in the Afterlife has no beginning or ending, as it may be opened from both ends. Please do so: open life from both ends.
