It is Ralph Bland's love for his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, that connects the stories in NOT DEAD AGAIN. Whether the setting is occupied by an adolescent girl pondering the effects her parents' divorce will have on her life or a fifty-five year-old man realizing that death comes to everyone, the scene is always surrounded by Nashville with its gleanings of the past, present, and a foreboding sense of what the future might bring. These are Southern people whose lives collide with love and death, remembrances both bittersweet and harrowing, and the everyday moments of existence that suddenly gallop off into the world of the past, where events were something else, something else indeed. The stories in this book--some funny, some sad, some filled with the ridiculousness that is life itself--suggest there is a tale to be told by everyone, no matter their particular place on the planet.
