But the author rejects those labels, saying that while funny things do happen in his stories, he has never intentionally sat down to write comedy. Here, Elkin reads the Conventional Wisdom section from his 1979 triptych The Living End. Ellerbee, the story's protagonist, has just been shot and killed in a holdup in his newly opened liquor store. He is being escorted from this life by the Angel of Death, who just happened to be a customer in the store at the time.
