I Am Still Afraid
Orthodoxy - G.K. Chesterton It might be morbid to write a 400 page story that centers around death. Who in their right mind would want to spend that much time reading about a topic that most of us avoid whenever possible. That said, Annie Dillard doesn't care. The Living is thrust out to us, a personal creed from Dillard that preaches to us about how we live and how we die. It is a doleful story, but it grabs your heart and stabs it with its brutal honesty and blunt facts. In the end, after your heart is released, you breathe heavily and realize that what you read was truer than you would like to admit.
