Q. Why are there almost as many jokes about death as there are about
sex?
A. Because they both scare the pants off us.
Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein first made a name for themselves with
the outrageously funny New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus
Walk into a Bar.... Now they turn their attention to the Big D and
share the timeless wisdom of the great philosophers, theologians,
psychotherapists, and wiseguys. From angels to zombies and everything in
between, Cathcart and Klein offer a fearless and irreverent history of
how we approach death, why we embrace life, and whether there really is
a hereafter. As hilarious as it is enlightening, Heidegger and a Hippo
Walk Through Those Pearly Gates is a must-read for anyone and everyone
who ever expects to die.
And now, you can read Daniel Klein's further musings on life and
philosophy in Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning
of Life, They Change it.
