From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death
by Caitlin Doughty
With topics pertaining to other cultures and easily exoticizarion, the line between fetishization and insight is introspection. I think the author could have benefited from bringing more of herself to the book, and from interrogating how dark tourism shadows this research endeavour. I would also like to know how the specific cultures were selected - what went into those choices?
Criticisms aside, I did tear through this book. It's fascinating, albeit with some moral queasiness attached.
