From Alexandra Petri - Obits: Speaking plain of the dead

Here's something from Alexandra Petri who writes for the Washington Post. When you find good writing, it's fun to share it. (Her column is called ComPost).

This particular piece is Petri's take on obituaries of men, written in response to the recent passing of Colleen McCullough.
