 Item
Identifier: CC-42680-44698
Scope and Contents

This book attempts to answer the "eternal question: is there life after death? If there is, author and illustrator Henrik Drescher hypothesizes that inhabitants of the afterworld might be able to receive letters, using earthly mailboxes as portals...If the letters are not returned, it its presumed that the mail was successfully delivered to its intended recipient. 'Postal Seance' records the results of this important experiment, reproducing each of the letters sent to such luminaries as James Joyce, Buchminster Fuller, Dolly the Sheep and 49 others with notes on their arrival and return status."Two pages of artist stamps by Drescsher are provided so the readers can conduct their own postal seance experiments. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
