深刻又有趣的殡葬人手记
评分题材很好,写的感觉一般啊,没有作者yt视频有意思
评分死亡是一个很禁忌的话题,但是作者却把这个话题写得轻松,幽默却不乏思考。在作者讲述完毕她自己的经历之后,在书的最后几章里提到对死亡的思考,对死亡仪式的尊重,对什么是好的死亡的理解,把这本书收尾在最秒之处。非常好的阅读体验。
评分確實是一本有趣的書。用詼諧的口吻描述入殮師的工作和自身經歷。絕望過,想過要自殺,但整個描述的過程,卻不讓人覺得沉重,這點讓我很喜歡。隨著閱讀量和年齡的變化,對書籍的挑選和閱讀也開始越來越奇怪。一方面,越來越認可和欣賞經典文學作品。另一方面,對於冷門或邊緣話題的書籍開始產生濃厚興趣。
评分The most witty book that I read, and the topic of death has occurred to me thousands of times. I have a friend who dies at Berkeley, on Shuttuck Ave that appears in this book, and his funeral service is hold in Oakland, the same place the stories happened in the book. This makes this book so real-life to me, and it does make me feel much better
Caitlin Doughty is a licensed mortician and the host and creator of the "Ask a Mortician" web series. She founded the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Death and cofounded Death Salon. She lives in Los Angeles.
A young mortician goes behind the scenes, unafraid of the gruesome (and fascinating) details of her curious profession.
Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty—a twenty-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre—took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. Thrown into a profession of gallows humor and vivid characters (both living and very dead), Caitlin learned to navigate the secretive culture of those who care for the deceased.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters and unforgettable scenes. Caring for dead bodies of every color, shape, and affliction, Caitlin soon becomes an intrepid explorer in the world of the dead. She describes how she swept ashes from the machines (and sometimes onto her clothes) and reveals the strange history of cremation and undertaking, marveling at bizarre and wonderful funeral practices from different cultures.
Her eye-opening, candid, and often hilarious story is like going on a journey with your bravest friend to the cemetery at midnight. She demystifies death, leading us behind the black curtain of her unique profession. And she answers questions you didn’t know you had: Can you catch a disease from a corpse? How many dead bodies can you fit in a Dodge van? What exactly does a flaming skull look like?
Honest and heartfelt, self-deprecating and ironic, Caitlin's engaging style makes this otherwise taboo topic both approachable and engrossing. Now a licensed mortician with an alternative funeral practice, Caitlin argues that our fear of dying warps our culture and society, and she calls for better ways of dealing with death (and our dead).
我们经常和火葬场打交道,随着年龄的增长,几乎每年都要到火葬场去送别几位同事同学或者朋友的父母。可是我们却都不了解火葬场,也没机会去了解。如果不是去送葬,我们就是路过火葬场也会避之而去,那里实在是阴森恐怖。 可是手中的这本书,却是在讲述火葬场的故事。当...
评分2020年第一天读完的年度地一本书居然是讲告别的,这个开始我是没想到了٩( °༥° )و ₎₎ 随着年龄数字的不断叠加,儿时从电视机里、从书本里认识的人不断的离世,甚至周边的朋友也已经有因为意外、病痛提早告别的了。我不惧怕自己的死亡,我害怕我身边的人随着时...
评分老百姓有一句话“这日子,开心是过,不开心也是过,怎么都是一辈子。”初听来不过是一句朴实无华的家常话,可是仔细想想竟然蕴藏了人生的终极真相,那就是——人都是会死的。 我们的教育我们的人生观、世界观都是本能的逃避死亡的,凡是和死亡有关的,似乎都是避之不及,都是...
评分《爸爸去哪儿第三季》有一期备受争议的主题,就是“爸爸们”化上年老的皱纹妆,告诉孩子们有一天爸爸会变成这个容貌,还会死亡。很多观众认为,以这几个孩子的年龄,就教育“死亡课程”太过残忍。我一直觉得对生老病死的了解是一个随着年龄慢慢形成的自然过程,一般人也都...
评分只要是关于死亡的书,都很感兴趣,倒不是因为和作者一样有什么癖好,而是直面死亡才能消除对死亡的焦虑。 曾经生病的经历也让我有过死亡焦虑,死亡恐惧伴随了我可能两年之久,怕回到生病时生死一线的那种绝望和恐惧之中。归根结底,怕生病,怕受苦,怕死。 有个小伙伴,只要大...
