The first work of character-driven nonfiction to passionately, lucidly, and sensitively explore the legal practice of medical assistance in dyingThe Day I Die is a major work of nonfiction that tackles the one issue we'll all eventually come to face―our final days, hours, and minutes. With clarity and empathy, award-winning anthropologist Anita Hannig uncovers the stigma against the practice of assisted dying, untangles the legalities and logistics of pursuing an assisted death in America today, and profiles the dedicated advocates and medical personnel involved.
