Doch gegen eine plötzliche Herzattacke mit tödlichen Folgen kann auch er nichts ausrichten und so findet er sich unverhofft im Jenseits wieder. Mit Schaefer, der unliebsame Landstreicher, der immer vor Goldmans Haus herumgelungert hat. Bevor die beiden jedoch den Fluss, der die Grenze zum Himmel markiert, überqueren dürfen, werden sie auf eine abenteuerliche Reise durch das Unbekannte geschickt ...

As a young man, David Rhodes worked in fields, hospitals, and factories across Iowa. After receiving an MFA in Writing from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1971, he published three acclaimed novels: The Last Fair Deal Going Down (1972), The Easter House (1974), and Rock Island Line (1975). In 1976, a motorcycle accident left him partially paralyzed. In 2008, Rhodes returned to the literary scene with Driftless, a novel that was hailed as "the best work of fiction to come out of the Midwest in many years" (Alan Cheuse). Following the publication of Driftless, Rhodes was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010, to support the writing of Jewelweed, his newest novel. He lives with his wife, Edna, in Wisconsin.

“Rhodes proves that there is still vigorous life in the dark Gothic roots of great American novels.”

—Peter W. Jordan, The Tennessean
