圖書描述

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☆☆☆☆☆

4/5 In her 'morbidly insightful' debut, Doughty demystifies the undertaking industry and, through her research into jaw-dropping death rituals and galore charnel anecdotes, brings us face to face with death.This book has the explosive power to shift our current death-denial culture and lead us into the Danse Macabre with peace, joy and celebration

評分☆☆☆☆☆

與其說它寫死亡教育，不如說是關於生命教育。死亡是生活中注定會發生的事情，但是現代人刻意將其掩蓋起來，變成充滿恐懼，不安以及焦慮的意外事件。這書有中譯本，我看英文原版覺得閱讀體驗非常好，筆觸靜謐深邃，文筆優美流暢。從現實到曆史到中世紀文化亞馬遜部落的儀式細密無縫地交織在一起。很抓人，又很觸動。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

Rather than denying the truth of death, it was a revelation to embrace it, however disgusting it might sometimes be.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

殯儀館裏的死亡思考，在一個對死亡隱而不論的社會，很獵奇，也很敬畏。最好的部分其實是作者進入亡者世界的契機，童年時目睹小女孩慘死的心理陰影，「讓每個人能夠整潔而美好地離開」的理由纔是動人的。也許是對死亡本身都沒有任何實感，所以一直覺得死亡對於我而言不會造成任何恐慌，更多的是宿命論的無謂感。我恐慌的是疾病，而非死亡。但看完之後覺得，在處理遺體這件事上，還蠻認同作者這種佛係態度的，最好能迴到自然去(不過關於屍體不會産生病菌和威脅生命健康這點還沒有完全信服

評分☆☆☆☆☆

殯儀館記事很喪又有點好玩後來因為害怕沒有看完。。推薦給膽兒大的人當你開始思考死亡的時候
