Journal Entry 1 by Plum-crazy from Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, March 14, 2015
Following the death of a friend, British poet and pets' mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park. Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday. There, Dennis enters the fragile and bizarre world of Aimée, the naïve Californian corpse beautician, and Mr Joyboy, the master of the embalmer's art...
Never read any Evelyn Waugh before & was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the style of humour as it's the sort that makes me smirk. I loved the characters & the Whispering Glades Memorial Park was reminiscent of a Disney theme park - wonderful!
