Summary:
"Part memoir, part meditation on death itself -- an exploration of death from an 'insider's' point of view. Using the threads of her brother's early death and her twenty years of work at a hospice, Joseph utilizes history, religion, philosophy, literature, personal anecdote, mythology, poetry and pop culture to discern the unknowable and to illuminate her travels through the land of the dying. A rumination on death, dying and the mystery that awaits us all. In the process of thinking deeply about death, Joseph finds the brother she lost as a young girl. She wrote this book as a way to understand what she had seen: the mysterious and the horrendous. Replete with literary allusions ranging from Joan Didion and Susan Sontag to D.H. Lawrence and Voltaire, the result is an absorbing and inspired consideration of how we die and how we deal with death. Eve Joseph is a Canadian poet living in Victoria, B.C."--Provided by publisher.
