Michael Largo Book Signing - "The Portable Obituary" October 20, 2007

Here at last is the definitive source book on the true causes of death of public figures––providing the ultimate demise of heroes and icons, politicians and celebrities, inventors and explorers, business leaders and sports figures, as well as the unlikely endings of radicals, murderers, feminists, Nobel Prize winners, and others. Organized thematically, The Portable Obituary examines revealing details about how famous persons' deeds, intimate habits, and lifestyles––good and bad––ultimately influenced their mode of death and, in due course, determined their role in history and culture. Author Michael Largo, who also wrote the bestseller, Final Exits, makes clear that life, famous or not, can only be fully understood backwards. The true cause of death is often the one omitted detail of history, but in fact reveals the most poignant snapshot of an individual's life. Join us for this special Halloween-themed night.
