Talking about death doesn’t have to be somber or scary, says Caitlin Doughty, the host of the popular web series Ask a Mortician. In fact, her latest book offers a deep dive into mortality that is enlightening, educational, and very, very entertaining. In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty answers thirty-five of the most distinctive, delightful questions about death she’s received throughout her career, drawing on the same empathy, intelligence, and humor that made her last two books (Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and From Here to Eternity) best-sellers. At CHF, Doughty will answer your questions, and discuss, with Mark Bazer, host of WTTW’s The Interview Show, how one of the great certainties--and mysteries--of life is something to embrace, not run from.
