About This Book

A cynical opportunist engineers partners' sudden deaths to acquire their assets while two amorphous symbionts slide from corpse to corpse, inhabiting newly vacant bodies. The narrator negotiates schemes that exploit suicide and funerary conventions, enjoying both profit and the creatures' mutable companionship. Conversations among them explore using transferable bodies to attain influence over living institutions, and the tone mixes dark humor with examinations of identity, moral decay, and the ease with which human life can be treated as a resource.
