Description:
"Mordantly wonderful." -CARL HIAASEN
"I almost died laughing." -ROZ CHAST
"My own departure would not be so bad if only Mr. Roberts could write the obit!" -KAI BIRD

Over the course of the nearly 1,500 obituaries he has written throughout his career, he has instead come to understand that they’re about distilling an entire life lived-for someone whose name he may have learned that morning.
