(2) YA Jared Stone--devoted husband and father--has an advanced brain tumor. Wanting to leave his family with financial security, he tries to sell the remainder of his life on eBay, then strikes a deal with a reality television producer. The third-person narrative shifts perspectives (including that of Jared's anthropomorphized tumor), and some are more successful than others. Nevertheless, the story is compelling, satirical, and unsettling.
