殯儀館記事 很喪 又有點好玩 後來因為害怕沒有看完。。推薦給膽兒大的人 當你開始思考死亡的時候
評分4/5 In her 'morbidly insightful' debut, Doughty demystifies the undertaking industry and, through her research into jaw-dropping death rituals and galore charnel anecdotes, brings us face to face with death.This book has the explosive power to shift our current death-denial culture and lead us into the Danse Macabre with peace, joy and celebration

評分殯儀館裏的死亡思考,在一個對死亡隱而不論的社會,很獵奇,也很敬畏。最好的部分其實是作者進入亡者世界的契機,童年時目睹小女孩慘死的心理陰影,「讓每個人能夠整潔而美好地離開」的理由纔是動人的。也許是對死亡本身都沒有任何實感,所以一直覺得死亡對於我而言不會造成任何恐慌,更多的是宿命論的無謂感。我恐慌的是疾病,而非死亡。但看完之後覺得,在處理遺體這件事上,還蠻認同作者這種佛係態度的,最好能迴到自然去(不過關於屍體不會産生病菌和威脅生命健康這點還沒有完全信服
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).
文/夏丽柠 海德格尔说:当你无限接近死亡,才能体会生的意义。我们恐怕没有那么多机会接近死亡。不过,有这么位美国姑娘就整日与死亡为武,并将切身体会写成了《烟雾弥漫你的眼》。在书里她谈笑风生,说起死来就像我们谈论生。显然,这是一本奇葩作者写的奇葩书。 凯特林•...
評分 評分老百姓有一句话“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...
評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...
評分法兰克福书展的最后一天,已经没有约见。我和同伴们无处可去,便搭乘某条S线抵达了终点——巴特洪堡,一个宁静美丽的小镇。深秋,落红满地,人迹罕至。我们好像迷了路,却也不着急,在一个个block之间细细走,慢慢品。因为每一栋房子、每一个庭园都不一样,所以光看这些各异的...
