Review of Dick Johnson Is Dead (2020) by Alissa Wilkinson for Vox — 07 Oct 2020
Dick Johnson Is Dead suggests that learning to confront reminders of death, to even conjure them for yourself and examine them closely, takes some of the sting out of death and replaces it with love. To love someone is to accept that one day, death will part the two of you.
The pain of knowing that is built into the act of loving. But we go on loving anyway.
