The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch, Vol. 2: Empire Decayed

This book, these two books, kind of blew my mind. Zebulon Finch's search for meaning, his century long tour of the world's and America's decay, his first hand experience of so many huge historical moments and movements is compelling. From Nazi Germany to 9/11, with the oppressive conformity of 1950's suburbia, the space race, the civil rights and anti war movements of the 1960's, a desert cult, and asylum in between, Finch gives us insight into each as he struggles to understand himself.
I love the language of the book, the characters are interesting, the descriptions are great.
Zebulon is continually seeking, wanting to know why he of all people was brought back from the dead and what role he should play..
His past comes back to both haunt and heal. All of it together makes a fantastic, unique, visceral read.
I will miss Mr. Finch.
