FREE: The Dead Beat by Marilyn Johnson

The listing, The Dead Beat by Marilyn Johnson has ended.

Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries

Where else can you celebrate the life of a pharmacist who moonlighed as a spy, the genius behind Sea Monkeys, the school lunch lady who spent her evenings as a ballroom hostess? The Dead Beat is the story of how these stories get told.

Marilyn Johnson was enthralled by the remarkable lives that were marching out of this world—so she sought out the best obits in the English language and the people who spent their lives writing about the dead. She surveyed the darkest corners of Internet chat rooms, and made a pilgrimage to London to savor the most caustic and literate obits of all. Now she leads us on a compelling journey into the cult and culture behind the obituary page and the unusual lives we don't quite appreciate until they're gone.
