Badger's Parting Gifts

"Badger’s Parting Gifts is a story about death that is fresh and that I call light-hearted but it doesn’t preach too much. I think it’s a wonderful example of an idea that needed to be written. I read the book at my mother’s funeral, you know. It’s a wonderful way of talking about death and I’m sure you’ve come across it and maybe read it once or twice. I think this book will go on forever. You know, that’s one of our few real classics and I think necessary books we have published."
