What if we responded to death... by throwing a party?By the time Erica Buist’s father-in-law Chris was discovered, upstairs in his bed, his book resting on his chest, he had been dead for over a week. She searched for answers (the artery-clogging cheeses in his fridge?) and tried to reason with herself (does daughter-in-law even feature in the grief hierarchy?) and eventually landed on an inevitable, uncomfortable truth: everybody dies.While her husband maintained a semblance of grace and poise, Erica found herself consumed by her grief, descending into a bout of pyjama-clad agoraphobia, stalking friends online to ascertain whether any of them had also dropped dead without warning, unable to extract herself from the spiral of death anxiety… until one day she decided to reclaim control.With Mexico’s Day of the Dead festivities as a starting point, Erica decided to confront death head-on by visiting seven deathfestivals around the world – one for every day they didn’t find Chris. From Mexico to Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and finally Indonesia –with a stopover in New Orleans, where the dead outnumber the living ten to one – Erica searched for the answers to both fundamental and unexpectedquestions around death anxiety.This Party’s Deadis the account of her journey to understand how other cultures deal withmortal terror, how they move past the knowledge that they’re going to die in order to live happily day-to-day, how they celebrate rather than shy away fromthe topic of death – and how when this openness and acceptance are passed down through the generations, death suddenly doesn’t seem so scary after all.

I never write reviews here, but this book was so special, I felt compelled to do so. So this is my first Amazon review and also my first book review ever!Reading Erica Buist’s wonderful book, This Party’s Dead, is a transformative experience — devastating, funny, beautiful. It starts with the discovery of her fiancé’s father after he’d been dead at home for 7 days. In an attempt to understand her death anxiety, the author decides to visit 7 death festivals around the world (one for each day that she didn’t find her future father-in-law) in places where they celebrate death and make the experience joyful.The whole book is an intimate and immersive journey around the world to places that are familiar and remote and rendered in incredibly vivid detail. It feels like you’re there with the author. Her sense of wonder is contagious.It’s really a unique book. In parts it feels like a smart travelogue/philosophical quest with a travel buddy so lovely and funny and human, I found myself wishing I could track her down in real life and hug her, befriend her, & sneak into her suitcase.This is the kind of book that will change you. It’s the kind of book I want to carry around with me so that I can jump into one of the author’s adventures whenever I want. I always think about how something beautiful (a poem, a painting, a book) makes me feel joyful. Buist’s book is one of those rare experiences of art (ironically about death) that makes me feel happy to be alive.I can’t recommend this book enough!! I’m buying the hard copy when it comes out. 10 stars!!!
