A Loss For Words
From: The Last Word
$1.10
This chapter highlights the challenge of writing a eulogy and using the words and songs of others to express one’s own feelings of sadness. It focuses on calculating and quantifying life, finessing the value of life into one short statement. Includes an example from Norman Mailer’s own self-written eulogy.
