What happens when an assassinated president, a world-renowned scientist, and a brilliant writer meet over a card game in the afterlife? How have theactions of these complex, talented men determined where they are now, and what will they talk about now that they’re together?Love and joy fill the highest region of the afterworld, while suffering and a sense of nothingness engulf the lowest. Between the two is Nowhere, a place of uncertainty where one may stay a long time, but no one stays forever. Inhabitants of Nowhere have done both extreme good and extreme evil in their lives on Earth. Many have also played important roles in world events. This novel tells a story of how John F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, and Ernest Hemingway come together in the middle region of the afterworld. Maybe one day they will be forgiven for all their misdeeds and shortcomings. In the meantime, the three discuss everything from the investigation into Kennedy’s assassination to Hemingway’s religious views.Then Salvatore arrives. Sal is not famous or admired around the world for anything; he is a violent Italian criminal who loves the Virgin Mary. Willhe lead the group to the region of joy and love or the region of emptiness and despair? Join these four around the card table as they challenge one another’s thinking with humor and insight about such historic events as the Vietnam War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and more, while undergoing theprocess determining their own ultimate fate.
