The third book in Charles Bowden's "accidental trilogy" that began
with Blood Orchid and Blues for Cannibals, Some of the Dead Are
Still Breathing attempts to resolve the overarching question: "How
can a person live a moral life in a culture of death?" As humanity
moves further into the twenty-first century, Bowden continues to
interrogate our roles in creating the ravaged landscapes and
accumulated death that still surround us, as well as his own
childhood isolation, his lust for alcohol and women, and his waning
hope for a future. We witness post-Katrina New Orleans and
terrorist-bombed Bali; we encounter our shared actions with the
animal world and the desirous need for consumption; we see the
clash and erosion of our physical and figurative borders, the
savagery of our own civilization. A man of his time and out of
time, Bowden seeks acceptance and a will to endure what may lie
ahead.
