As a weird sort of retelling of Chekhov's Three Sisters by way of Samuel Beckett, The Gravediggers Union is an immensely fun read. A wry and somewhat absurdist humor weaves through the narratives of the various employees at a locally owned graveyard which is in danger of being absorbed by the larger, corporate-owned graveyard nearby. The characters focus hard on the mundane details of their jobs and their dreams for their futures, while shutting out the more macabre aspects of their work. It is as real and relatable as it is whimsical and strange. ”
