Chris Woodyard's voluminous knowledge of the subject of death verges on the encyclopedic. Over the course of several interviews I have discovered that while her intelligence is dazzling she also possesses an amazing talent for making a very serious subject fascinating and also surprisingly humorous. Death is no laughing matter but she always makes me laugh regardless. Her new book is another classic study of mortality and all of the grief, mourning, and occasional hilarity that attends it.
