The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries Tapa blanda - 2007
de Marilyn Johnson
In wry and lucid prose, Johnson takes a mordantly funny look at the history and practice of "the ultimate human-interest story," the obituary.
Primera línea
People have been slipping out of this world in occupational clusters, I've noticed, for years.
Descripción de contraportada
Marilyn Johnson was enthralled by the remarkable lives that were marching out of this world--so she sought out the best obits in the English language and the people who spent their lives writing about the dead. She surveyed the darkest corners of Internet chat rooms, and made a pilgrimage to London to savor the most caustic and literate obits of all. Now she leads us on a compelling journey into the cult and culture behind the obituary page and the unusual lives we don't quite appreciate until they're gone.
