On September 3rd, my dad died due to a very agressive and rare cancer of the kidney called collecting-duct carcinoma just six weeks after first experiencing symptoms. This was nine months to the day after my mom died from metastasized breast cancer two years after her initial diagnosis. Though seldom with bare words like. Which is a word that sits heavily in the room whenever uttered. I learned that the death rattle is real.

Scrawled epiphanies, esoteric streams of consciousness, witty, insightful and viciously funny, ranging from mere fact-checking to ferocious scribbling, and from the utterly banal to the unexpectedly profound. An uncommonly interesting idea that will make books seem relevant and alive again a real conversation, and something that breathes. This is a lovely idea.
