Resumen

Like Everything I Really Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten, or Tuesdays with Morrie, Obit is a wise and deeply moving book that illuminates the human condition. For ten years, Jim Sheeler has scoured Colorado looking for subjects whose stories he will tell for the last time. Most are unknowns, but that doesn?t mean they?re nobodies. Their obituaries are sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking, and chock full of life lessons as taught by the people we all pass on the street every day. And thanks to Sheeler?s brilliant and compassionate prose, it?s not too late to meet them.

Reseñas en medios

' You probably won't have heard of any of the people eulogizedin Obit, but they will remind you of the variety of humans onearth and the absolute certainty that no matter how powerfula personality, eventually the body goes, and that what remainsstays not only in people's hearts, but in their stories.'
Chicago Sun-Times
