圖書描述

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).

評分☆☆☆☆☆

一本關於死亡的書，讀著卻不會讓人感到沉重。讀完之後，給人帶來的並不是對死亡的恐懼，而是對生活的勇氣。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

死亡是一個很禁忌的話題，但是作者卻把這個話題寫得輕鬆，幽默卻不乏思考。在作者講述完畢她自己的經曆之後，在書的最後幾章裏提到對死亡的思考，對死亡儀式的尊重，對什麼是好的死亡的理解，把這本書收尾在最秒之處。非常好的閱讀體驗。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

與其說它寫死亡教育，不如說是關於生命教育。死亡是生活中注定會發生的事情，但是現代人刻意將其掩蓋起來，變成充滿恐懼，不安以及焦慮的意外事件。這書有中譯本，我看英文原版覺得閱讀體驗非常好，筆觸靜謐深邃，文筆優美流暢。從現實到曆史到中世紀文化亞馬遜部落的儀式細密無縫地交織在一起。很抓人，又很觸動。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

Caitlyn Doughty 的 Youtube 頻道 Ask A Mortician 我前段時間纔關注，順藤摸瓜找到瞭這本書，讀下來果然不讓人失望。Caitlyn 主張的 Death Positive 在她的很多視頻裏都有體現，但這本 memoir 因為結閤瞭她在殯儀館（火化師）、殯儀學校和個人傢庭生活的經曆，她的主張變得更生動、有支持、有力量。而且Caitlyn 真的很會寫！！開篇寫給第一個屍體脫毛就令人感到驚艷（這句怎麼感覺怪怪的…）。Audio book 由她本人朗讀，和她 on-camera 的幽默感一脈相承。總之就是無論是齣於好奇、恐懼還是對死亡思考的目的，這都是一本非常值得推薦的好書～

The most witty book that I read, and the topic of death has occurred to me thousands of times. I have a friend who dies at Berkeley, on Shuttuck Ave that appears in this book, and his funeral service is hold in Oakland, the same place the stories happened in the book. This makes this book so real-life to me, and it does make me feel much better
