評分Caitlyn Doughty 的 Youtube 頻道 Ask A Mortician 我前段時間纔關注,順藤摸瓜找到瞭這本書,讀下來果然不讓人失望。Caitlyn 主張的 Death Positive 在她的很多視頻裏都有體現,但這本 memoir 因為結閤瞭她在殯儀館(火化師)、殯儀學校和個人傢庭生活的經曆,她的主張變得更生動、有支持、有力量。而且Caitlyn 真的很會寫!!開篇寫給第一個屍體脫毛就令人感到驚艷(這句怎麼感覺怪怪的…)。Audio book 由她本人朗讀,和她 on-camera 的幽默感一脈相承。總之就是無論是齣於好奇、恐懼還是對死亡思考的目的,這都是一本非常值得推薦的好書~
評分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

評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。一方麵,越來越認可和欣賞經典文學作品。另一方麵,對於冷門或邊緣話題的書籍開始產生濃厚興趣。
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).

評分生命短暂又脆弱 有些人离开之后就再也不会回来,任你哭天抹泪,那种无力感,像黑夜要将你吞没。 生命有蓬勃生机的春天,也有落地腐烂的寒冬。死亡带走了一切,可有一样东西永远也带不走,那就是流淌在我们心中的爱。 分别是,知道会重聚,所以我们都在原地等待。 永别却是,很...

評分哲学家塞內加说过:人生是通往死亡的一次旅行。但是我想没有几个人可以坦然面对这次旅行的终点,不论你是权倾天下如齐桓公,抑或富有四海如罗斯柴尔德,都无法保证自己的生前身后事是否体面从容,更别提生命意识消失以后的那种虚空了。所以人们习惯性逃避死亡、消灭衰老,而这...
評分文/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•...
