The Oxford book of death
'Reading for this anthology,' says D. J. Enright in his introduction, 'I was moved to the thought that on no theme have writers shown themselves more lively.' And not only professional writers, for this is a subject on which there are no real experts and lay voices rightly insist on being heard alongside those of poet and novelist, scientist and philosopher, mystic and sceptic.
