Description

Death is a powerful ending, but what about death itself? This collection brings together fourteen writers and photographers to explore this complex subject. Through their work, they examine the ways in which death affects us, our lives, and our culture. The contributors include John Gregory Dunne, Adam Mars-Jones, Mary McCarthy, Edmund White, Louise Erdrich, Michael Ignatieff, John Treherne, and photographer Rudolph Schäfer, who captures eerie death faces. This diverse range of voices and perspectives offers a nuanced understanding of mortality and its place in our lives. With 562 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive look at the many ways that death is experienced and represented.
