Novel.
Includes bibliographical references.
Funeral Nights is an unconventional novel--a vast collection of stories big and small, not so much about death, but about life, past, present and future, rural and urban, high and low; about admirable men and women, raconteurs and pranksters, lovers and fools, politicians and conmen, drunks and taxi drivers; about culture and history, religion and God, myth and legend. Inspired by the narrative frame of Boccaccio's the Decameron and the Arabian Nights, but adopting a serio-comic style, this is intimate access to a whole world, spectacular in its documentation of tribe's life and culture such as has never benn attempted before. -- Back Cover
