SOLVED. Book of Obituaries. [s]

[Mouse]

Hey, there was a book I stumbled onto a sample of on Amazon back in 2000s, I think, where it's like a book of fictional obituaries, but ones written about real people. To clarify, the people are real, but the obituaries written about them are fictional. Basically, the author wanted to use the obituary format to explore the complicated legacy of various historical figures or celebrities. I know one of these obituaries was about the guy who invented the AK-47, Mikhail Kalashnikov.
