Description
One of Studs Terkel's most important oral histories, Will the Circle be Unbroken? turns to the ultimate human experience - that of death. First published 15 years ago to great acclaim, the book explores - with unrivalled compassion and wisdom - the indelible variety of reactions to mortality and the experience of death and the possibility of life afterward. Here a wide range of people addresses the unknowable culmination of our lives and its impact on the way we live, with grace and poignancy. Includes interviews with Kurt Vonnegut, Ira Glass and many ordinary people.
