The Encyclopedia of the Dead

The stories feel interconnected yet diverse, creating a layered exploration of memory and death. I'm curious about the selection process behind these particular tales.

Some stories felt like dreams or memories, which made me wonder how much of it was literal versus symbolic. How did others interpret these surreal touches?

This unique format added a sense of universality and depth. I wonder if it was influenced by cultural traditions or a desire to create a literary mosaic.
