About this product

Product Information

Most of the people in this book will die before the fifth paragraph. You probably haven't heard of any of them. That doesn't mean it's a book about nobodies. That doesn't mean it is a book about death. The obituaries collected here are at times humorous, (""The Woman Who Outlived Her Tombstone"") and at times heartbreaking (""Love Stories from a Plane Crash""). They shine a light into forgotten places (""How to Build a Mountain"") and forgotten lives (""TGhe shortest Obituary on the Page""). Inside are countless lessons of life, taught by people we all pass on the street every day. It's not too late to meet them.

Reviews
"Obit, is a collection of narrative obituaries that bring to life the recently deceased. Sheeler gets to the heart of each of his subjects, offering us a feast of lives well-lived: some mundane, some comic, and, yes, some tragic, but all hell-bent on fulfillment of their time in this world." -- Pete Warzel, You probably won't have heard of any of the people eulogized in Obit, but they will remind you of the variety of humans on earth and the absolute certainty that no matter how powerful a personality, eventually the body goes, and that what remains stays not only in people's hearts, but in their stories.  ---Chicago Sun-Times, His obituaries and feature stories...are valuable as history, sociology, literature, and journalism. Are they obits? If you take into consideration that he wants to break as many rules as possible, then, yes, they are. I recommend reading them in private.  --- Marilyn Johnson, author of The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the preverse Pleasure of Obituaries, ""Obit, is a collection of narrative obituaries that bring to life the recently deceased. Sheeler gets to the heart of each of his subjects, offering us a feast of lives well-lived: some mundane, some comic, and, yes, some tragic, but all hell-bent on fulfillment of their time in this world."" -- Pete Warzel
