Acclaim for JESSICA MITFORD’s
The American Way of Death Revisited
“The American Way of Death Revisitedhas lost none of the original work’s power to shock, appall, and—despite the grim subject matter—jolt the funny bone.”
“Jessica Mitford was sui generis…. Even in death, Mitford continues to serve as the scourge of those who would profit obscenely from dying.”
“No less startling, or entertaining, than the original.”
“The ‘value added’ of this edition is considerable…. Nobody will ever bring to [the battle against the funeral industry] the combination of irony, brio, grit and vitriol that stamped the Mitford style.”
“Excellent…. Her revealing interviews allow unscrupulous funeral-industry honchos to dig, as it were, their own graves.”
“Even in death, Jessica Mitford continues to serve as the scourge of those who would profit obscenely from the dead.”
About the Author
Jessica Mitford—of the notorious Mitford clan—was one of the most celebrated muckraking journalists of our time. Among her books are Daughters and Rebels, The Trial of Dr. Spock, and Poison Penmanship: The Gentle Art of Muckraking. Until her death in 1996, she lived in Oakland, California, with her husband, the labor lawyer Robert Treuhaft.
