Essay: The Thing about Life is that One Day you’ll be dead

Sample Essay

After reading The Thing about Life Is That One Day You’ll be dead I struggled for a while to find the words that would adequately describe the literature I was holding in my hands.

After much personal deliberation, I found myself thinking that maybe the best way to start telling someone about this book is to simply start by using the first words the author used:

However, the book itself turns out to be much more.
