Too Soon to Say Goodbye by Art Buchwald

3.0

Okay, your kidneys are not working, you decide not to undergo dialysis, and you check into hospice. What then? This is the situation Art Buchwld finds himself in. Instead of retreating into himself and quietly dying, he turns the hospice into a "party zone" and eventually get himself kicked out because of his longevity. This is a serious, and humorous, look at a life both well-spent and sometimes wasted before his "dirt nap." I grew up reading Buchwald's columns in the Washington Post and met him several times--he was very fun at a party. I pray that I have the grace to face my final months with as much dignity, humor, and courage. I doubt that I will.
