An afterlife comedy. When a traveling businessman takes his own life, he expects an escape from the pain of his daily existence. At the very least, he doesn't expect to have to work. But when he checks in to The Grand Merengue, the only afterlife destination there is, he doesn't find angels or demons, but an odd assortment of very familiar characters, all working on what needs to be fixed in their own lives. An Arab terrorist and a Jewish militant forced to room together. A porn addict, a shop-aholic, and a junkie all rubbing elbows with some of the most famous figures of history, and all trying to gain favor with The Management and be upgraded from the bare-bones ground floor rooms to the penthouse suite.
In the tradition of "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life," Seale creates a light-hearted, cinematic vision of the great beyond for a new generation, with an economy of words but wealth of spiritual implications. 120 pp.
