The Book of Resting Places: A Personal History of Where We Lay the Dead by Thomas Mira y Lopez

tangleroot_eli's review
Usually this sort of book—personal narrative framing or framed by journalistic or scientific writing—is 100% my jam. But Mira y Lopez’s emotionless writing style chilled me. I do understand that the book is about his quest to access and process the emotions he couldn’t get at when his father died, but I’m not interested in 194 pages of his emotional labor.
