Requirements: .PDF reader, 21.2MB
Overview: In The Forbidden Zone, Michael Lesy explores the concept of death by speaking with professionals who deal with it every day, from people who work in a slaughterhouse to two competing funeral home directors.
Lesy’s theme is Americans’ denial of, and fascination with, death. Slaughterhouse workers who kill animals supposedly devoid of a soul, hospice professionals who advocate the good death, gun-toting cops with the cold attitude of hunters and morticians who display corpses as if they were merely asleep. All reflect our society’s institutionalization of the denial of death. The Forbidden Zone is a series of encounters with the dead and dying.
