Here is where Michael is located, the place at the edge of the map picturing dragons at the end of world.  His wife Jess has died by lightening strike to her underwire bra.  He is on an unlikely quest to find other people like him, seeking to make sense of a randowm death in their lives.What I like best about Michael is the way he loves women.  His first glance at Jess revealed a "plain faced middle-aged woman wearing an oversized sweater that hung on her like a sack", but she had the laugh of an angel.  After she gifted him with it after his comedy routine, he found himself finding her beautiful.During his quest, he comes to understand that Elena may be the woman for him after she wipes eye crusties off his beloved dog's face without wincing.The story is wry and funny.  The narrator is a comedian.  But the author manages to portray the search for meaning as other than "crazy grief stalker."  I enjoyed it and was also startled by it after reading the author's other work which is very different.  This leaves me to understand she has a versatile talent that I will watch and recommend that you watch also.
