Death at Random
By W.H. Auden
Twentieth Century Book of the Dead
by Gil Elliot
Ballantine Books, 235 pp., $1.65 (paper)
I must begin by saying that I found this book maddeningly repetitious, and its style far too fancy for my liking. Nevertheless, I think it a book everybody should read. It does not tell us anything new, but it rubs our noses in facts which we would prefer to forget.
