MICHAEL POORE

Combine the thought-provoking time travel of When You Reach Me with the humorous storytelling of Lemony Snicket, and you get a wholly original journey through time, space, and the depths of the human heart.This is a story of things that are not possible.Its not possible for Amy to see spirits. (She does.)Its not possible that Amy and Moo can communicate using only their minds. (They do.)Its not possible to time-travel. (Yet.)And its definitely not possible that witches exist. (Seriously?)None of these things are possible. (Until now . . .)

A wildly imaginative novel about a man who is reincarnated over ten thousand lifetimes to be with his one true love: Death herself.This book made me laugh out loud. And then a page later, it made me sob. Reminiscent of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore, Poore finds humor in the dark absurdities of life.Chicago Review of BooksFirst we live. Then we die. And then . . . we get another try? Ten thousand tries, to be exact. Ten thousand lives to get it right. Answer all the Big Questions. Achieve Wisdom. And Become One with Everything.Milo has had 9,995 chances so far and has just five more lives to earn a place in the cosmic soul. If he doesnt make the cut, oblivion awaits. But all Milo really wants is to fall forever into the arms of Death. Or Suzie, as he calls her.More than just Milos lover throughout his countless layovers in the Afterlife, Suzie is literally his reason for livingas he dives into one new existence after another, praying for the day hell never have to leave her side again.But Reincarnation Blues is more than a great love story: Every journey from cradle to grave offers Milo more pieces of the great cosmic puzzleif only he can piece them together in time to finally understand what it means to be part of something bigger than infinity. Darkly enchanting and wisely hilarious, Michael Poores Reincarnation Blues is the story of everything that makes life profound, beautiful, absurd, and heartbreaking.Because its more than Milo and Suzies story. Its your story, too.

Milo ha tenido 9.995 oportunidades hasta ahora y le quedan solo cinco vidas para ganarse un lugar en el alma cósmica. Si no aprueba con nota, lo espera el olvido eterno. Pero lo único que Milo quiere es caer por siempre en los brazos de la Muerte. O Suzie, como el la llama. Suzie no solo ha sido la amante de Milo durante sus incontables escalas en la Otra Vida; Suzie es, literalmente, su razon para vivir. Milo va de vida en vida, zambullendose en una existencia tras otra, y rezando por que llegue el dia en que no tenga que volver a separarse de ella. Pero " Las 10.000 vidas de Milo " es mas que una gran historia de amor: con cada viaje de la cuna a la tumba, Milo descubre nuevas piezas del increible rompecabezas cosmico, que solo se revelaran utiles si es capaz de dilucidar a tiempo lo que significa formar parte de algo mayor que el infinito. Michael Poore nos deleita con el encanto oscuro de las obras de Neil Gaiman y el humor inteligente de Kurt Vonnegut, con una historia sobre todas las cosas que hacen de la vida un acontecimiento profundo, hermoso, absurdo y desgarrador. Porque es algo mas que la historia de Milo y Suzie. Tambien es tu historia.
