The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong>My best friend when I was twelve was inflatable. His name was Arthur Roth, wich also made him an inflatable Hebrew, although in our now-and-then talks about afterlife, I don\u2019t remember that he took an especially Jewish perspective. Talk was mostly what we did \u2013 in his condition rough-house was out of the question \u2013 and the subject of death, and what might follow it, came up more than once. I think Arthur knew he would be lucky to survive high school. When I met him, he had already almost been killed a dozen times, once for every year he has been alive. The afterlife was always on his mind; also the possible lack of one.<\/p>\n
