I wrote a short essay for the University of Minnesota Press blog on “Six Feet Under” and our culture of death. Here’s a short excerpt:

“In We’ll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down, I try to capture the Midwestern stoicism I have witnessed at funerals and wakes. I saw little raw emotion. So few Nates, so many, many Davids.”

If you were a fan of the show, you know what I mean.
