description: From the authors of the bestselling Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar  an uproarious new book on the meaning of death (and life too)The new book by the bestselling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar is a hilarious take on the philosophy theology and psychology of mortality and immortality. That is Death. The authors pry open the coffin lid on this one looking at the Big D and also its prequel Life and its sequel the Hereafter. Philosophers such as Schopenhauer Nietzsche Camus and Sartre have been wrestling with the meaning of death for as long as they have been wrestling with the meaning of life. Fortunately humorists have been keeping pace with the major thinkers by creating gags about dying. Deaths funny that wayit gets everybodys attention.Death has gotten a bad rap. Its time to take a closer look at what the Deep Thinkers have to say on the subject and there are no better guides than Cathcart and Klein.
