In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife

English

By (author): Sebastian Junger

'Mind blowingly brilliant' PHILIPPA PERRY

'Few other writers have such passion for granular detail, intellectual heft and boundless curiosity' THE TIMES

'As suspenseful and pacy as an episode of peak-era ER' GUARDIAN

A near-fatal health emergency leads to this powerful reflection on deathand what might followby the bestselling author of Tribe and The Perfect Storm.

For years as an award-winning war reporter, Sebastian Junger travelled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. Its okay, his father said. Theres nothing to be scared of. Ill take care of you. That was the last thing Junger remembered until he came to the next day when he was told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm that he should not have survived.

This experience spurred Jungera confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empiricalto undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die. How do we begin to process the brutal fact that any of us might perish unexpectedly on what begins as an ordinary day? How do we grapple with phenomena that science may be unable to explain? And what happens to a person, emotionally and spiritually, when we are forced to reckon with such existential questions?

In My Time of Dying is part medical drama, part searing autobiography, and part rational inquiry into the ultimate unknowable mystery.

'Moving, compact, philosophically ambitious A humbling volume' OBSERVER

Stunning A powerful book that comes as close as anything Ive read in explaining what it means to be human JAMES PATTERSON

'An instant classic that filled me with wonder, gratitude and awe' WILL SCHWALBE

'A stunning account I didnt so much read as inhale, awed and riveted and forever changed' MICHAEL FINKEL
