A moving reflection on a subject that touches us all, by the best-selling author of Claire of the Sea Light.

Edwidge Danticat's The Art of Death: Writing the Final Story is at once a personal account of her mother dying from cancer and a deeply considered reckoning with the ways that other writers have approached death in their own work. "Writing has been the primary way I have tried to make sense of my losses," Danticat notes in her introduction. "I have been writing about death for as long as I have been writing." The audiobook moves outward from the shock of her mother's diagnosis and sifts through Danticat's writing life and personal history, all the while shifting fluidly from examples that range from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude to Toni Morrison's Sula. The narrative, which continually circles the many incarnations of death from individual to large-scale catastrophes, culminates in a beautiful, heartrending prayer in the voice of Danticat's mother. A moving tribute and a work of astute criticism, The Art of Death is an audiobook that will profoundly alter all who encounter it.

An excellent examination of death as represented in different literacy works. Many writers have tried to examine death and its impact but few have been able to delve as deeply as Edwige Danticat. Many seem to start and then digress into the life of the dead person. Edwidge examines death itself, what it means and how we respond to it. Very thought provoking piece of writing.
