Death Hard to live with
Can’t live without it
Life with Death attacks death: It dresses it down. Whacks it on the head. Mocks it mercilessly. Agonizes over it. Has your mom died? Your dad? Grandma? Was it sad but graceful, or was their passing angry, conflicted, with any hope of resolution expiring along with their last breath? Did a beloved friend commit suicide? How do you feel? Are you dying? Are you scared? Life with Death is a sometimes angry, often humorous, occasionally sad exploration about the loss of loved ones, not so loved ones, and how we feel about our own death. This rollercoaster, kaleidoscopic journey into le mort encompasses family, friendship, fear, science, history, music, pop culture, spiritualism, failure, success and, ultimately, resolve. As well, Life with Death is equal parts love letter to Maui, Hawaii, Paris, France, Northern Vermont, New York City, and Detroit, Michigan, with all of it viewed through the eyes of someone whose own grandmother frequently described as being an incorrigible kook.
