Memorial Days: A Memoir | Geraldine Brooks

There is a chapter in which the author describes seeing a dead bird, and she comes back to its different phases of decomposition over the next few days. On the final day, she sees it and says: It should be a repulsive image, yet I find it consoling: this bird, who met its unforeseen ending with a meal half – consumed, now devoured in a riotous jitterbug. May my own death be just as sudden. Spare me the crematorium. Put me straight into the soil.⬇️

JenniferEgnor I want to be part of this dance. 2d

LapReader We are so separated from death now. I grew up on an Australian station where we had a ‘parlour‘ where it was cool and dark to store the old dead great, great, great great aunts until they could be picked up for their funerals. They were the first ones not to be buried on the farm. My Nan and mum still lay out bodies. I‘m not sure I‘ll learn. Death fascinates me though. 2d

Everybody wants to die naturally, you know.

But not so soon. Not so soon.

People die. On the descent to JFK airport one day after Tony‘s death, I stared from my airplane window at the closed-pressed houses of the Queens borough: I have this in common with every single one of all the thousands of people down there, living their varied, vivid lives. We might have not one other single thing in common, but we‘ve got this. We will all die. We will all grieve.

A super quick, gripping story.
Hill inherited his father's knack for eerie topics that makes you wonder if just maybe all of this could be real.

This was both delightful and disturbing. I enjoyed a lot of it, but some of the experimentation especially head transplants with monkeys and dogs was truly awful. I wish I‘d been able to skip those sections, but that‘s challenging with an audiobook.

Reggie Because of this book I want to be freeze dried and shaken apart to be put in the garden or around a tree. Oooooor this isn‘t in the book but cremated and put into brownies to be given at the funeral. lol 1d
