East of Mourning is a novel that can be read as a very funny character study with a little bit of a murder mystery and decadent small town misbehavior thrown in. Michael Markus has, also, some insightful and vital things to say about the thirty something generation in the nineties and the generation that directly followed them. I look forward to his next book, I just hope it is longer. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
