In 2006, Desmond Kon died, and came back to life. This is better understood as
a near-death experience (NDE). Fresh from studying world religions at Harvard,
Desmond’s NDE in Somerville, Massachusetts, shared remarkable consistency
with other documented NDE accounts, such as encountering otherworldly beings,
altered time-space realms, and the classic tunnel of light. Post-NDE symptoms
included paranormal sightings. Framed as a quasi-memoir, The Good Day I
Died is constructed as a self-administered interview, allowing the account its
moments of deep intimation. Completed with the aid of the Creation Grant from
Singapore’s National Arts Council, The Good Day I Died represents Desmond’s
most confessional writing, relating the story of his death, and his transformed life
after his return.
