Here a wide range of people address the unknowable culmination of our lives, the possibilities of an afterlife, and their impact on the way we live, with memorable grace and poignancy. Included in this remarkable treasury are Terkel's interviews with such famed figures as Kurt Vonnegut and Ira Glass as well as with ordinary people, from policemen and firefighters to emergency health workers and nurses, who confront death in their everyday lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether a Hiroshima survivor, a death-row parolee, or a woman who emerged from a two-year coma, these interviewees offer tremendous eloquence as they deal with a topic many are reluctant to discuss openly and freely. Only Terkel, whom Cornel West called \"an American treasure,\" could have elicited such honesty from people reflecting on the lives they have led and what lies before them still. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Extraordinary . . . a work of insight, wisdom, and freshness.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Studs Terkel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620970112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620970119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Studs Terkel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939290874111,"sku":"9781620970119","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4e2bca01-c1e5-4c67-9e58-6c177beb32f6.jpg?v=1681440632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/will-the-circle-be-unbroken-studs-terkel-9781620970119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
