Description

"A seriously funny take on death and dying." -Kirkus, Starred Review

An ingeniously plotted dark comedy by Noa Yedlin, "a master at tone" (Kirkus, Starred Review) about aging and friendship following a tight-knit circle of seniors as they attempt to hide the death of one of their best friends so he can win the Nobel Prize for Economics.

Avishay is up for the Nobel Prize for Economics. There's just one problem-he's dead. His four closest friends agree that the well-earned prize must stay within his grasp, and so conspire to conceal Avishay's corpse until the committee's announcement. The potential of a glorious legacy for their late friend - and by extension, for them all - is only a mere eight days away.What could go wrong?

Each member of the quartet has their own motive for the scheme. Zohara, Avishay's longtime secret lover, needs her widowhood acknowledged through an inheritance. Amos, a less successful academic than his late friend, is proving he can overcome his jealousy. Insecure magnate Yehuda needs the association to promote his own upcoming book. And Nili, a divorcee chafing against her grandmotherly expectations, thrills at the adventure.

Their plan starts out simple: turn up the AC, take shifts watching the apartment, forge texts and emails on the deceased's behalf. But as the days pass, they are confronted with surprise visitors, hidden motives, deep-seated resentments and the devices of nature herself. How far will this foursome go to help their friend die a winner?

Packed into a drama-filled week, bristling with insight and dark humor,Stockholmoffers a refreshingly honest consideration of the age when we begin to measure the sum of our lives.
