Nathan Clark's gravestone offers a short and hopeful summary: At rest. But Nathan is not at rest, and knows he won't be until he finds out why he died. Privy now to the innermost thoughts and feelings of his family and friends-confessions that are raw, brutal, and unexpected-Nathan spends the day of his wake getting to know the living as he has never known them before: His father struggles with a legacy of family tragedy; his wife with the baggage of a doomed affair; his older daughter with her burgeoning sexuality and adolescent confusion. But why isn't Nathan's young daughter Lois at the wake? Who are the two strangers at the funeral, and why does their presence fill him with dread? Part detective story, part family portrait, Death of an Ordinary Man is an unflinching look at the margins of human experience, where the boundaries of fundamental feelings&#8212;love, grief, desire, shame, and hope&#8212;meet and mingle, and no motivation is as simple as it seems.</div> 4245 2004 Death of an Ordinary Man total:191|5:33|4:51|3:62|2:35|1:10| 191 635 320 32 5 3 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Sep 13 11:07:04 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 05 07:04:54 -0700 2007
