Armed with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the
macabre, Caitlin Doughty took a job at a crematory and turned
morbid curiosity into her life's work. She cared for bodies of
every color, shape, and affliction, and became an intrepid explorer
in the world of the dead. In this best-selling memoir, brimming
with gallows humor and vivid characters, she marvels at the
gruesome history of undertaking and relates her unique
coming-of-age story with bold curiosity and mordant wit. By turns
hilarious, dark, and uplifting, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes reveals how
the fear of dying warps our society and "will make you reconsider
how our culture treats the dead" (San Francisco Chronicle).
