We will all die. Yet modern culture fears and avoids the subject of death. This major new book deals sensitively and unforgettably with a universal experience.
Studs Terkel explores the ultimate human experience, that of death and the possibility of life afterward. Death is the one experience we all share but cannot know. In this book, a wide range of people address that final experience and its impact on the present in which we live. As well as the elderly and the sick, Terkel uses his unique talent to draw on the experiences of those who work closely with the dying - paramedics, police, firefighters, doctors and the recently bereaved.
