The New Yorker’s art critic, Peter Schjeldahl, recently passed away at 80. His piece, The Art of Dying, was published in 2019. The title does not do justice to all the heart and feeling within the essay.
Life doesn’t go on. It goes nowhere except away. Death goes on. Going on is what death does for a living. The secret to surviving in the universe is to be dead.
