This book is a little over 10,000 words, so shouldn’t take much more than an hour to read, but took me months to write. And while it’s a memorial to my niece, I hope it’s not mawkish, voyeuristic or over-sentimental. It is a brief journey through three cultures American, Japanese, and my own, British, and touches on the last rites of Japan and Arkansas, at least as witnessed by me though my family members. It raises the question of whether it is better to live a short life that reaches many or a long, solitary one.
The Short Goodbye comprises an essay about travelling back to Arkansas for my niece’s funeral, the transcript of that funeral, and an essay on the death of my father-in-law in Japan.
I’m donating all my royalties from the sale of the book to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Maryland, USA.
The Short Goodbye eBook Patrick Sherriff
Well-written and moving. The juxtaposition of the two funerals, different cultures, different traditions is very interesting. Sherriff writes about Japan without being too "gimmicky" for want of a better word, and he manages to convey the sense of both events in a moving way but without relying on melodrama to do so.Well worth a read.
