Simultaneously funny and frightful, Srikanth Reddy's Underworld Lit
is a multiverse quest through various cultures' realms of the dead.
Couched in a literature professor's daily mishaps with family life
and his sudden reckoning with mortality, this adventurous serial
prose poem moves from the college classroom to the oncologist's
office to the mythic underworlds of Mayan civilization, the ancient
Egyptian place of judgment and rebirth, the infernal court of Qing
dynasty China, and beyond-testing readers along with the way with
diabolically demanding quizzes. It unsettles our sense of home as
it ferries us back and forth across cultures, languages, epochs,
and the shifting border between the living and the dead.
