Description
Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.
Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. The best questions come from kids. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?
In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Listeners will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane.
Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.

À propos de l'auteur
En rapport avec Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?
Avis
And I LOVE the fact that I could hear the book in Caitlin’s voice.
In this book, Doughty collected a number of questions she’s received from children over the years and answered them in her usual matter of fact yet entertaining way. Questions such as “What would happen to an astronaut body in space?”, “Will I poop when I die?”, “How does a whole adult fit in a tiny box after cremation?”, and, yes, she does answer the question about which beloved pet will turn you into a meal upon your death.
If you’re a fan of books by Mary Roach, this is a perfect match so go ahead and have a read. You’ll definitely be the coolest aunt/uncle, mom/dad, grandma/grandpa, friend to be able to whip out a total and confident answer to “Can I preserve my dead body in amber like a prehistoric insect?”.
Recommend.
p.s.: Do not listen to this while preparing dinner XĐ
