Franson of Troynovant"},"content":{"rendered":"

Read the excellent new review<\/a> by science-fiction author and literary essayist Robert W. Franson of Death is Wrong<\/em><\/a>. The review is published on Mr. Franson’s website Troynovant<\/a>, which offers extensive literary and philosophical analysis.<\/p>\n

Here is an excerpt: \u201cDeath is Wrong is a short book, clearly written and easy to read. I like the personal approach: it doesn’t talk down and is quite accessible. A striking concept presented quite reasonably and supported matter-of-factly. There are apt quotations from a variety of thinkers, including several of my personal heroes of modern times: Francis Baco<\/em>n, Benjamin Franklin, Friedrich Nietzsche. These people and some scenes from nature are nicely illustrated by Wendy Stolyarov<\/a>. For readers who want a little more about the background concepts, there is a brief Appendix discussing the seven basic causes of senescence, such as cell loss and atrophy. There are some links for further learning. It’s a good book, entertaining and thoughtful, and certainly gives us a challenge to think about.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
