“Dying is very relaxing,” we learn in Notes Going Underground. One character attends his own funeral to hear unexpected praise from unforeseen sources.  Another makes a mistake; he attends the wrong funeral. A third meets her father for the first time before he tries to cross the “No Trespassing law of Nature.” “Dead and alive at the same time?  That’s absurd!” Joram Piatigorsky writes.  Or is it?  In a series of short stories, Joram creates an intriguing world between life and death.  In his professional life, Joram made scientific discoveries others had not imagined.  Notes Going Underground is a fascinating read that makes you wonder what we still have to learn about life and how it ends.
