Stella in Heaven

Almost a Novel

By: Art Buchwald

Narrated by: Elliott Gould

Roger Folger, age 61, recently lost his wife, Stella, but her spirit hasn't wandered far. In an all-too-earthly way, Roger converses with her disembodied voice in the privacy of the home they shared for many years, and you can bet Stella talks back. Roger fills her in on the latest about their kids and neighbors, while she tells Roger what heaven's like—picture the Ritz-Carlton in Florida, managed by Saint Peter. Worried that Roger is lonely, Stella decides that he needs a new woman in his life. But once he begins to date, Stella grows jealous. With his signature wry humor, Buchwald delivers a comic gem of a novel, a guaranteed delight for many listeners.
