Die, Daddy, die!
After a lifetime of competing with his father, writer David Shields has had enough. But the aged patriarch remains "cussedly, maddeningly alive."
By Louis Bayard [2008-03-04]

  • obsessed is wrong

    This article and these people exemplify who we are. 'We' want to deny aging and death. Don't we? Don't you? Please argue.

    I don't. I accept it. Death is coming for this guy born in 1952 at Great Samaritan Hospital in Zanesville, Ohio. Sooner or later, I am going to stop breathing. And die. Love you all.
