Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but 20-something Caitlin Doughty took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life's work. Thrown into a profession of gallows humor and vivid characters (both living and very dead), she learned to navigate the secretive culture of those who care for the deceased. Honest, heartfelt, and self-deprecating, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (W. W. Norton) tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters and unforgettable scenes.
