A memoir that is intimate and gripping, literary and suspenseful, The Rooms of Heaven is a love story, an anatomy of a suicide, an account of grief and healing, and a wholly original exploration of life after death. At its center is Mary Allen, seeking a new beginning in Iowa City. There she meets Jim Beaman--smart, handsome, charming--a workingman who defies the stereotypes: he has a lightning wit, he draws and sculpts, he makes chess sets out of clay. "It's hard to explain," Allen writes, "what it's like when you're attracted to someone as suddenly and fiercely as I was to Beaman, what it is about him that makes you fall in love with him." But she does explain, and we see the beginnings of an intense love affair: "We talked about everything and nothing, his childhood and my childhood, people we'd slept with and people we hated, death and college and dreams." There's more to this relationship, however, than a simple love story. Jim Beaman, it turns out, has a drug problem, and Allen gets drawn into the world of addiction, with its promises and denials, good intentions and inevitable disappointments. Then Jim kills himself. "Stories about somebody dying usually end with the death," notes Allen, but this time "death is not the end of the story." Convinced that Jim must be somewhere, "that a person, that Jim Beaman, was more than a complex piece of machinery, reduced now to a pile of ashes in a cardboard box," she embarks on a riveting, sometimes funny, often terrifying investigation of the landscape of the afterlife--a journey that leads her to (perhaps) contact with Jim, to the brink of madness, and, ultimately, back to herself. In prose of astonishing originality, The Rooms of Heaven captures the beauty of the American heartland, the transformative power of love, and the "terrible magic" of death.

"A love story, a memoir, a haunting tale of grief and healing. This book is all that and more." --Chicago Tribune In the tradition of Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted and Caroline Knapp's Drinking: A Love Story, Mary Allen tells a riveting love story that explores the uncharted territory between passion and addiction, grief and madness, this world and the next. When Mary Allen falls in love with Jim Beaman, she doesn't know he has a drug problem, but she does sense demons and angels around him, like "a disturbance in the air, a sound just beyond the register of human hearing." And when Jim--discouraged and depressed, struggling with his addiction--kills himself a year into their relationship, Allen is unable to let him go. In her desperate attempts to recover from the loss, she uses a Ouija board and automatic writing to pull back from reality into the dark recesses of her mind, where she believes she can find him. The result is a mesmerizing trip across the boundaries between this world and the afterlife, a journey that leads her to the brink of insanity and ultimately back to herself.

This series of books is designed to develop the photographer's skills to an advanced level, but without the weight of theory that so often turns learning into drudgery. The aim is to focus attention on the practical aspects of each subject and never let the technicalities cloud the view. The author in every case has wide practical experience of the subject and the book represents a distillation of his findings from actual work done in the field. In every book, the reader receives the personal attention of a teacher, whether in mapping out the thinking behind the creative process or in following text-by-picture demonstration directly from the page. The photographer who wishes to go on from this and evolve his own approach can do so not by luck but by informed experiments. For him, these books provide the essential body of knowledge.
