Ralph Bland's debut novel tells the story of Amy Martin and how her
life and death affects five of her contemporaries. Told in first
person narrative from multiple characters, the novel unfolds a
rambling tale of how the recently deceased Amy is nowhere close to
being dead and gone in the hearts and minds of the people left
behind in her wake. Spanning her just-completed life, this novel is
a slapstick tragedy and a bittersweet hike into the past, present,
and future psyches of a group of people still struggling to get
their acts together.
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.
