Critical Praise

"TERRIFYING, MOVING, PAINFUL, AND REDEMPTIVE . . . Terkel provides us with [a] community, and . . . there is solace in knowing, at least for now, that we are not alone."

——Chicago Tribune

"IT’S THE UNGUARDED VOICES HE PRESENTS THAT STAY WITH YOU. . . . Terkel’s interviews may not allay fears about death. But reading them certainly encourages life while we have it."

——The New York Times

"In these moving, thought-provoking, and powerful interviews, Terkel beautifully illustrates that this book may be about death, 'but only by living to the full its long prelude, life.'"

——Associated Press
