In this beautifully written personal meditation on life and living, Raymond Tallis reflects on the fundamental fact of existence: that it is finite. Inspired by E. M. Forster''s thought that ''Death destroys a man but the idea of it saves him'', Tallis invites readers to look back on their lives from a unique standpoint: one''s own future corpse. From this perspective, he shows, the world now vacated can be seen most clearly in all its richness and complexity.
Blending lyrical reflection, humour and the occasional philosophical argument, Tallis explores his own post-mortem recollection and invites us to appreciate anew the precariousness and preciousness of life.
