The Gentle Art of Dying Upside Down

On the Dignity of Endurance

Some bats die still hanging.

For readers drawn to nature writing, narrative nonfiction, and contemplative books about the human experience, The Gentle Art of Dying Upside Down moves between natural history and human lives while staying close to the dignity of endurance. It leaves two questions: What does it mean to live inside the grip? What remains when endurance becomes a way of life?
