Death Watch: A View from the Tenth Decade by Gerald Stern
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 613 KB
Overview: Gerald Stern, National Book Award-winning poet, creates a powerful new prose book in his ninth decades, as he contemplates mortality. In his characteristic audacious, uncompromising, funny, and iconoclastic style, Stern looks back at his life and forward to how he will end his days.
Will he be cremated—against the tenets of Judaism—or buried, and if buried where? He visits synagogues to find answers to questions that are unanswerable. He examines his identity—a Jew born of immigrant parents and raised somewhat haphazardly in Pittsburgh, on account of the death of his sister, Sylvia, at ten, when the author was eight years old.
