Schedule a book reading with NY Times contributor and accomplished author Alix Strauss

Released first in 2003, Alix Strauss’s The Joy of Funerals is being reissued with a 20th anniversary edition. According to the author herself, the novel is “an exploration of human behavior and longing” and started as an explanation of why she liked going to funerals.

In celebration of this milestone, Alix has offered to go on a book tour and do reading for member funeral homes. Additionally, she’s scheduled a relaunch reading at Frank E. Campbell The Funeral Chapel in New York City this October.

Available mid-October 2023 through May 2024, Alix would love to schedule a reading at your funeral home. She often reads from her novel, gives a talk, answers questions, does a meet and greet and signs/sells books. Depending on your interest and timeframe, these events run anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour.

If you’re interested in hosting this event, please contact Author Alix Strauss at 917.716.7548 or alixtjof@aol.com. Following a detailed conversation with Alix, you’re sure to develop a fun and unique event at your funeral home. She’s extremely passionate about the topics she speaks on and would love to connect.
