The thing about life is that one day you'll be dead
Shields, David, 1956-2011
Books, Manuscripts
Mesmerized and somewhat unnerved by his 97-year-old father's vitality and optimism, David Shields investigates our mortal being. Weaving together personal anecdote, biological fact, philosophical doubt and cultural criticism, Shields renders both a hilarious family portrait and a truly resonant meditation on mortality.
