An Oral History

by Casey Jarman

Death is an inevitable reality that we must all face at some point. It can be difficult and perhaps painful to consider, but just as life can give great meaning to a person’s death, so, too, can death help enhance a person’s life. In this eye-opening collection of interviews, Jarman interviews experts in a variety of fields — cultural anthropologists, gravediggers, filmmakers, philosophers, ambulance drivers, and more — for their stories and experiences; he also includes discussions with everyday people who have had to face death in their lives. There is hope to be found in the inevitability of death, as well as scientific answers to what physically happens in our bodies and brains as we approach death. Personal, philosophical, and scientific, Death: An Oral History is a poignant, honest take on the ultimate journey and the extraordinary ways it can still open our lives up for hope today.
