Reviews
Schillace raises a lot of questions surrounding the issue of mortality, leaving readers to form their own answers., Vivid, scholarly, enthralling, and surprisingly touching, Death's Summer Coat is skillfully stitched together., Schillace's explorations are extensive and interdisciplinary, drawing on research in the sciences but also valuing the many expressions of death in the arts. With her personable voice, she is able to breathe compassion into what might otherwise be a depressing topic. Endlessly fascinating. This vibrant window to other lives also creates a deeper understanding of one's own, A lively, panoramic view of our approach to death and dying that asks essential questions, and offers important insights, into the inevitable., Schillace writers glowingly of a growing movement to counter the death-denying attitude of Western society. Wide-ranging and surprisingly easy reading., In this thoughtful, wide-ranging examination, Schillace looks at how cultures worldwide have dealt with death, both in the past and present. Rituals that reflect a communal understanding of the pain felt by survivors can help ease the sting of loss, she points out, while modern western society looks at grief as an abnormal state, or assign it a timetable. The book offers no single answer or prescription, but it proposes we at least start the conversation., Schillace examines rituals of bereavement across cultures and across time. She points toward the confusion that has emerged in a technological age when brain death, heart death and other definitions becloud our understanding of expiry itself. We don't know what death means or even what it is., An informed but not overly academic pop culture look at death and dying in cultures around the world., At once scholarly but also infused with personal narrative, Death's Summer Coat has something to offer everyone., The book opens by surveying a wide swath of mourning customs from around the world, practices that Schillace holds up, usually to their advantage, against the customary funeral-home funeral of the modern West. As death became medical, it became something to be fought or fixed, and in these parallel shifts--from the religious to the medical, and from the communal to the private--Schillace perceives the forces behind our misaligned contemporary attitudes about mortality., Schillace writers glowingly of a growing movement to counter thedeath-denying attitude of Western society. Wide-ranging and surprisinglyeasy reading.
