殡葬的英文是undertake,而不是underput。 对于死者,我们选择的是陪伴,而不是放下。殡葬人,作为undertaker,就是那个一直在生者身边,陪伴着死者离开的人。殡葬人的角色跨越了生死的界限,因此对生存和死亡有着更深刻的认识。Thoms Lynch,同时兼具殡葬人和诗人的双...
评分* 每时每刻都有人死去,并不偏重于一星期的某一天或一年的某一个月,也没有哪个季节显得特别。星辰的运行,月亮的盈亏,各种宗教节日,皆不预其事。死亡的地点更是草率随便。在雪佛莱车里、在养老院、在浴室、在州际公路上、在急诊室、在手术台上、在宝马轿车里,直立或躺着,...
评分时间真的很奇妙。在多年前,我是不会读这样的书的,我记得当初看这本书的介绍,一句“一个阴森行业的生活研究”就让我瞬间打消了购买阅读的念头。我不敢直视死亡,就像书中引用的那句话“死亡和太阳,让人不能直视”。是的。可是当我读完了这本书,在我的所有感受中,有震撼,...

Thomas Lynch serves his readership as a poet and memoirist, and his townspeople as a funeral director. In this wholly unique collection of essays, the two vocations meet as Lynch shows himself to be a competent functionary of mourning--dispensing comfort and homespun wisdom to the grief-stricken--as well as a poet poignantly tuning language to the right tones of private release. He is also a man of sardonic wit, uncovering humor where we least thought to find it--in our fear of and fascination with death. In its homages to parents who have died and to children who shouldn't have, its tales of golfers tripping over grave markers, portraits of gourmands and hypochondriacs, lovers and suicides, The Undertaking displays an impressively wide vocal range--from solemn, nostalgic, and lyrical to acerbic, sprightly, and unflinchingly professional.
