"[A] profound collection of essays . . . These people, many of whom walk with death gracefully every day, make the concept a little less frightening--and deeply human." -Publishers Weekly "[O]ne of the most fun, surprising, and inventive essay books readers might find on any subject. . . Part memoir, with the flow and appeal similar to that of an episode of NPR's This American Life, this revelation of a book is chock-full of vignettes that dig deep into the psyche of the Grim Reaper and how we deal with him. "--Booklist "Casey Jarman, one of my favorite Northwest journalists, is becoming the Studs Terkel of his generation."--Willy Vlautin, author of Lean on Pete
