WHO SAID THE REAPER HAS TO BE GRIM?
Get ready to take a fascinating, rollicking ride around the globe and across the Styx with 'Death: The Trip of a Lifetime.' This delightfully different 'travelogue' follows one man's quest to discover how people everywhere cope with the incontrovertible fact of death. The result is a wise, witty, decidedly quirky celebration of how we all face life.
"[A] nonfiction romp that rivals Evelyn Waugh's classic 'The Loved One' as a laugh-a-minute examination of death rituals and customs."
LIBRARY JOURNAL
"An insightful look at a rite of passage that is venerated by cultures everywhere."
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Palmer is a friendly, pleasant narrator with a distinct voice and a speculative wit: one imagines him with a smile curled constantly on his lips, even as he writes of vampires, near-death experiences, suicide, burial methods, heaven and hell."
