*Old and New Postcards from the Beyond* is a collection of short, rhythmic prose pieces by Franco Arminio, in whose artistic world life and death form natural parts of human existence. In these texts, Arminio assumes the role of a kind of postman delivering postcards from the other side. The brief messages gathered here capture the final moments of life—the last breath, the last glance, the last wish, the last gesture—reconciling the reader to the transience of life through the power of timeless art.
