Dying Times
$29.95
Release date: October 1, 2021
Dying Times is an intense meditation on dying told at breakneck speed with an unabashed undercurrent of dark laughter.
A very successful though conflicted lady litigator is confronted by irrevocable death. It is all around her. It is her loving, wise mother who, by dying, triggers open hatred between siblings. It is her greedy, irascible but brilliant senior partner at a big downtown law firm who, while determined to control everything, even his own death, discovers generosity. It is the last client the litigator and the senior partner will share, a man in wheelchair who is appalling in his need to wreak ruin on his wife in a monumentally lucrative divorce case.
120 pages, hard cover, 5 x 7 inches

This illuminating story reveals how those hardcore emotions that arise from love on the verge of abuse and hatred, loyalty on the verge of betrayal, visceral energy on the verge of exhaustion, can define an individual’s response to death as Madott takes the reader on a journey into a pathos deeply felt.
“I was captivated by Madott’s voice and her confidence, along with everything she had to say. This is the kind of read that people can feel and understand; such simplicity that can’t help but captivate the reader…Just lovely. Good weeping. Good laughing. Moved by Dying Times – a lot.” —Marsha Boulton, Canadian journalist and humorist, winner of the Stephen Leacock Award
“This is writing to delight in – it floats small illuminations of lyrical intelligence in the narrative, in the careful unfolding of character and events, ideas and feelings, at ease with each other in that clear voice. So much life in Dying Times!” —George Amabile, internationally acclaimed and award-winning author
“Such a profound, powerful, deep, moving, smart, artistic opus [that] weaves gender, culture, heritage, despair and the mysteries of the soul. Great insight and just beautiful writing.” —Jerry Ciccoritti, Film Director of The Many Trials of One Jane Doe
