Greg Palmer had the urge to sniff around death’s edges but not get down to the bare bones, so to speak. He’s your tour guide on the Trip of a Lifetime, a revealing, globe-trotting exploration of the fascinating ways people live with the knowledge that the phrase life goes on is somewhat inaccurate. From slasher films as positive death images and a lighthearted look at the ancient art of body snatching to religious, spiritual,and philosophical theories about what might come after Death, Palmer deftly links diverse individuals, cultures, beliefs, and practices worldwide to recognize the universal in all mortality.
