  What are the cultural imperatives and protocols when your roommate dies? Do you host a wake for him, in the apartment you’re about to be evicted from, since his name was on the lease?

  Imagine suddenly being forced to move, at the tender age of 69, when you’re poor enough to require a roommate.
