Obit. by Jim Sheeler
Like Everything I Really Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten, or Tuesdays with Morrie, Obit is a wise and deeply moving book that illuminates the human condition. For ten years, Jim Sheeler has scoured Colorado looking for subjects whose stories he will tell for the last time. Most are unknowns, but that doesn't mean they're nobodies. Their obituaries are sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking, and chock full of life lessons as taught by the people we all pass on the street every day. And thanks to Sheeler's brilliant and compassionate prose, it's not too late to meet them.-

In 1996, Jim Sheeler started writing obituaries for the Boulder Planet, a local newspaper. He also worked as a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News and authored an obituary section for the Sunday Denver Post. He earned the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2006 for a piece about US Marine casualty notification officials that spanned a year. Last Salute (Penguin), his second book, expanded on that study and was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award in nonfiction. At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, he is the Shirley Wormser Professor of Journalism and Media Writing.
He previously worked at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a Scholar in Residence. He's lectured at media conferences all around the world, and his freelance writing has appeared in publications ranging from The Washington Post Magazine to Paris Match. He graduated from Colorado State University with a BA in Journalism and the University of Colorado with an MA in Journalism. With his wife and children, he lives in Ohio.
