Obit.: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People That Led Extraordinary Lives de Jim Sheeler

Obit.: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People That Led Extraordinary Lives

Autor Jim Sheeler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 2007
Like Everything I Really Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten, or Tuesdays with Morrie, Obit is a wise and deeply moving book that illuminates the human condition. For ten years, Jim Sheeler has scoured Colorado looking for subjects whose stories he will tell for the last time. Most are unknowns, but that doesn?t mean they?re nobodies. Their obituaries are sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking, and chock full of life lessons as taught by the people we all pass on the street every day. And thanks to Sheeler?s brilliant and compassionate prose, it?s not too late to meet them.

Recenzii

"Obit, is a collection of narrative obituaries that bring to life the recently deceased. Sheeler gets to the heart of each of his subjects, offering us a feast of lives well-lived: some mundane, some comic, and, yes, some tragic, but all hell-bent on fulfillment of their time in this world." -- Pete Warzel
