It is a visually dazzling collection of Death's musings, drawings, and pronouncements, as well as trivia, quotations, and statistics on the subject that Death has collected.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nIn his\/her own words, Death observes the living with a questioning, somewhat cynical eye, fascinated by how the living perceive death, dying, and the afterlife. As such, on a broad scale, the book is a meditation on how our popular culture deals (or doesn't deal) with Death; the narrative, at times random and rambling, at others precise and cunning, challenges our existing notions of Death, forcing us to face our fears and misgivings. This is an irreverent glimpse at how Death perceives mortals and mortality.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe notebook is divided alphabetically, each letter devoted to Death's thoughts on particular subjects, complemented by drawings and doodles and tangential musings. A second section, \"Death Notices,\" is a collection of press clippings and anecdotes Death has collected about him\/herself.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nAt once an imagined memoir and a disarming pop-culture essay, \u003ci\u003eDeath Writes\u003c\/i\u003e, Griffin \u0026amp; Sabine's evil twin, is sure to shock and amuse. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darlene Quaife (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":44733304733989,"sku":"9781551520384","price":11.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/products\/BNCImageAPI_6f81e4be-68ad-4310-ac1a-28834cfb043a.jpg?v=1679346254","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/death-writes-a-curious-notebook","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
