“IT’S THE UNGUARDED VOICES HE PRESENTS THAT STAY WITH
YOU. . . . Terkel’s interviews may not allay fears about
death. But reading them certainly encourages life while we
have it.”
–The New York Times Whether it’s Working or The Great War, the legendary oral
histories of Studs Terkel have offered indispensable
insights into all areas of American life. Now, at eighty-
eight, the Pulitzer Prize winner creates his most important
work on a subject few can comfortably discuss: death. Here, in the voices of people both esteemed and unknown,
are wise words, meaningful memories, and compassionate
predictions about the experience of life’s end–and what may
come after. A grad student explains how her two-year coma
convinced her of the existence of reincarnation . . . A
Hiroshima survivor reconciles her painful memories with the
stoicism of her Japanese culture . . . Actress Uta Hagan
expresses how her art is her religion and will be her
legacy . . . Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler
relives his World War II ordeal, after a torpedo left him
in a lifeboat among injured and dying comrades . . . An
AIDS counselor reveals why healthy gay men may require the
most crucial psychological help . . . and a retired
firefighter admits he “never felt so alive” as when he was
doing his dangerous job. From the sheer physical facts to the emotional realities to
spiritual speculations, all aspects of death are openly
expressed in this wonderful work, the stirring culmination
of Studs Terkel’s brilliant career.
