sdbecque 's review for:
Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish
by David Rakoff
So I took a small break from "Night Film" to focus on the rest of my life, and the desire to finish the last two hundred pages of that book in a relaxed manner with a glass of wine, but I digress.
If you aren't familiar with David Rakoff and you aren't a regular "This American Life" listener, I encourage you to watch this video performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldqjM7x6NhE) recorded a few months before his death. To quote Paul Rudnick talking about this video, "I’ve watched this video countless times, and I always think, with regard to life and death and dancing: That’s how it’s done."
Life Rudnick's review of "Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish" I should hate this book, I'm not a huge poetry fan, especially rhyming poetry, but this is a beautiful, wonderful book. Filled with these moments, the wedding speech toast is especially well done (and not as good out of context, but it's over here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54vqKbbNomg). It's short, and it's in verse, but it's beautiful and poignant.
