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 .
