Death


Death

I
t is a truism that we treat death the way the Victorians treated sex, namely as a subject tabooed in polite conversation. A shocked silence has descended over a dinner party when I have mentioned, casually, that I am now spending my spare time in preparing myself for death. It was as though my grandfather had told a similar gathering that he was spending his spare time masturbating, to prepare himself for fornication, a statement which today would be considered merely amusing.
