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).

The most witty book that I read, and the topic of death has occurred to me thousands of times. I have a friend who dies at Berkeley, on Shuttuck Ave that appears in this book, and his funeral service is hold in Oakland, the same place the stories happened in the book. This makes this book so real-life to me, and it does make me feel much better

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

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

學到瞭很多知識,不同的殯葬文化自己對死亡以及死後的思考,我對死亡的恐懼應該是afraid of what might happen to me if there is a life after death....不過應該沒有吧?但是誰又知道呢,隻有dead知道

評分

還不錯,前麵大部分比較好看,看她工作的那段經曆,能正麵死亡的確是最好的態度瞭,不遮遮掩掩。最後一部分比較無聊瞭講她自己的蛻變。

小时候参加亲人的葬礼,父母总是把我们小孩保护的很好,不让我们看到遗体,据说是担心我们被亲人的灵魂给吓到,灵魂钻进小孩的身体和心理,就会被惊吓到,生病,发烧,后果严重。村里有人去世,送葬车从家门前经过,不论是一天里的哪个点,家家户户都会急急忙忙管好家门和窗户...

我们经常和火葬场打交道,随着年龄的增长,几乎每年都要到火葬场去送别几位同事同学或者朋友的父母。可是我们却都不了解火葬场,也没机会去了解。如果不是去送葬,我们就是路过火葬场也会避之而去,那里实在是阴森恐怖。 可是手中的这本书,却是在讲述火葬场的故事。当...

刚拿到本书时,我得承认自己被雷到了,“暗黑甜心”、“毒鸡尾酒”、“笑个不停”,还有艳丽的桃红色腰封,这都什么鬼?说好的殡葬业和火葬场呢?想想《入殓师》里性冷淡的脸、有型的风衣、庄严肃穆的音乐,再看看这个,深深怀疑我收错书了。确认下书名,没错,就是它。 这是...
