The Art of Death: Writing the Final Story by Edwidge Danticat

5.0

The author hit the right balance between her personal experiences with death (including the death of her mother shortly before writing the book) and literary examples. Death is one of the hardest topics to capture in words (there are a thousand ways to miss the mark) and this book is an inviting exploration on some of the ways authors have managed.
