玛里琳·约翰逊（Marilyn Johnson），专栏作家。曾为《生活》等杂志撰稿，并担任过《君子》等杂志的编辑，她的作品散见于这些杂志和其他著名刊物。
玛里琳·约翰逊曾经为戴安娜王妃、杰奎琳·奥纳西斯、伊莉莎白-泰勒、凯瑟琳·赫本、约翰尼·卡什、鲍伯·霍普和马龙 白兰度等著名人物撰写讣告。很多读者以阅读她写的讣告为乐，并评价说：“如果她可以给我写上一段讣告，我即便现在死了，似乎也值得了。”甚至还打趣道：“我一定不能让她比我先死，不然就找不到更适合的人给我写讣告了。”
The New York Times comes each morning and never fails to deliver news of the important dead. Every day is new; every day is fraught with significance. I arrange my cup of tea, prop up my slippers. Obituaries are history as it is happening. Whose time am I living in? Was he a success or a failure, lucky or doomed, older than I am or younger? Did she know how to live? I shake out the pages. Tell me the secret of a good life!Where else can you celebrate the life of the pharmacist who moonlighted as a spy, the genius behind Sea Monkeys, the school lunch lady who spent her evenings as a ballroom hostess? No wonder so many readers skip the news and the sports and go directly to the obituary page. The Dead Beat is the story of how these stories get told. Enthralled by the fascinating lives that were marching out of this world, Marilyn Johnson tumbled into the obits page to find out what made it so lively. She sought out the best obits in the English language and chased the people who spent their lives writing about the dead. Surveying the darkest corners of Internet chat rooms, surviving a mass gathering of obituarists, and making a pilgrimage to London to savor the most caustic and literate obits of all, Marilyn Johnson leads us into the cult and culture behind the obituary page. The result is a rare combination of scrapbook and compelling read, a trip through recent history and the unusual lives we don't quite appreciate until they're gone.

评分和我原先以爲滿是悲傷沉鬱的訃告氣氛完全不同，和死亡相關居然也可以如此輕鬆有趣味的。 剛看這本書的時候我一直不太明白爲什麽《紐約時報》，《華盛頓郵報》，《經濟學人》這樣的報刊的訃聞版會大受歡迎，後來明白了那些訃告實在是一篇篇精彩的人物傳記，尤其當喪主是普通人...
评分“对吉姆影响最大的是《传道书》，“所罗门王的遗嘱，在《圣经》里只占六页半，但包括了他的全部智慧。”” ——该说是作者狡猾的微言大义，还是仅仅因为东西文化差异造成的解读不能？《先上讣告 后上天堂》第六章《普通人》，读着吉姆•尼科尔森的传奇经历，很容易就会一秒...
