Dancing with Death: A review of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by Caitlin Doughty

Ah, la mort. Controversial topic, is it not?



I went from technology to fashion to the death industry. 
See, this is the kind of variety I’m looking for. 

My relationship with our species’ mortality has always been strictly long distance and platonic. I know it’s there, twiddling its dastardly fingers as it waits for the day it’ll bite me and everyone I love in the ass. Even so, I’ve only seen it in the edge of the curtain, waving its bony hand and winking mischievously.  I’ve never had a direct experience with it.
