Shields begins with the facts of birth and childhood, expertly weaving in anecdotal information about himself and his father. As the book proceeds, he juxtaposes biological details with bits of philosophical speculation, cultural history and criticism, and quotations from a wide range of writers and thinkers–from Lucretius to Woody Allen–yielding a magical whole: the universal story of our bodily being, a tender and often hilarious portrait of one family.
An audiobook of extraordinary depth and resonance, THE THING ABOUT LIFE IS THAT ONE DAY YOU’LL BE DEAD will move listeners to contemplate the brevity and radiance of their own sojourn on earth and challenge them to rearrange their thinking.
