图书描述

A young mortician goes behind the scenes, unafraid of the gruesome (and fascinating) details of her curious profession.

Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty—a twenty-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre—took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. Thrown into a profession of gallows humor and vivid characters (both living and very dead), Caitlin learned to navigate the secretive culture of those who care for the deceased.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters and unforgettable scenes. Caring for dead bodies of every color, shape, and affliction, Caitlin soon becomes an intrepid explorer in the world of the dead. She describes how she swept ashes from the machines (and sometimes onto her clothes) and reveals the strange history of cremation and undertaking, marveling at bizarre and wonderful funeral practices from different cultures.

Her eye-opening, candid, and often hilarious story is like going on a journey with your bravest friend to the cemetery at midnight. She demystifies death, leading us behind the black curtain of her unique profession. And she answers questions you didn’t know you had: Can you catch a disease from a corpse? How many dead bodies can you fit in a Dodge van? What exactly does a flaming skull look like?

Honest and heartfelt, self-deprecating and ironic, Caitlin's engaging style makes this otherwise taboo topic both approachable and engrossing. Now a licensed mortician with an alternative funeral practice, Caitlin argues that our fear of dying warps our culture and society, and she calls for better ways of dealing with death (and our dead).

死，然后成为安静的分子，构成晨间雾霭、暖阳里的灰尘。这不是对死亡的惩罚，而是对过得很好的一生的奖赏。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

4/5 In her 'morbidly insightful' debut, Doughty demystifies the undertaking industry and, through her research into jaw-dropping death rituals and galore charnel anecdotes, brings us face to face with death.This book has the explosive power to shift our current death-denial culture and lead us into the Danse Macabre with peace, joy and celebration

Caitlyn Doughty 的 Youtube 频道 Ask A Mortician 我前段时间才关注，顺藤摸瓜找到了这本书，读下来果然不让人失望。Caitlyn 主张的 Death Positive 在她的很多视频里都有体现，但这本 memoir 因为结合了她在殡仪馆（火化师）、殡仪学校和个人家庭生活的经历，她的主张变得更生动、有支持、有力量。而且Caitlyn 真的很会写！！开篇写给第一个尸体脱毛就令人感到惊艳（这句怎么感觉怪怪的…）。Audio book 由她本人朗读，和她 on-camera 的幽默感一脉相承。总之就是无论是出于好奇、恐惧还是对死亡思考的目的，这都是一本非常值得推荐的好书～
