Mortician Caitlin Doughty—host and creator of "Ask a Mortician" and the New York Times best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes —founded The Order of the Good Death. She lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA.
Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.
Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?
In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to thirty-five distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Readers will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane. Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.

这本书太欢乐了。我从来没有想到自己会读一本有关死亡的书读得这么快乐。尤其在这样的一个非常时期。一问一答的方式让人很容易读下去,不知不觉中还增长了很多知识。会去看她的其他书。
评分最初我被这本书的题目吸引,尤其是副标题Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death,直白点说就是小孩子关于死亡的大问题。虽然话题关于死亡,但这本书太风趣了。由衷喜欢能问这些古怪问题的小孩子,我死后猫会吃我的眼珠子吗?死后还可以献血吗?墓地满员了怎么办?也喜欢大妞风趣的文风,绘声绘色的有声书朗读,还有书中的插画。一个殡仪师成为流行非虚构作家,谈论一些禁忌话题,让死亡不那么神秘可怖。以后我外甥长大了,我给他买一本做礼物吧。
评分一本关于尸体的书。由各种围绕着尸体的古怪问题组成,诸如人如果吃披萨的时候死掉,披萨会被消化吗?如果被消化了尸体会拉粑粑吗?如果拉粑粑,葬礼上要如何处理这些粑粑呢?噢,会的。它们会首先从眼睛和嘴唇这样柔软部分开始。????
评分作为成人书籍不够informative,more anecdotal than scientific. 对作者作为殡仪馆老板对比如说‘太空死亡’这种涉及另个领域的议题有多少权威性存疑。但如果作为儿童启蒙读物会非常好,尤其问题都是小朋友提出来的。
评分3.5/5 This book would be viewed as scandalous and heretical had it been published a hundred years ago, but today one can't help but find this little collection of answers to questions about death raised by children adorable. Despite some recycled material stuffed in there, this book still entertains and makes you laugh at the 'ultimate tragedy'.
