What Remains?

‘This book is great work of craft and beauty, truth and humanity, heart and soul. I believe it could be used as a teaching tool and as a comfort. I find Callender’s approach to this huge subject deeply loving and moving, but also revolutionary in spirit and courageous.’ Salena Godden, author of Mrs Death Misses Death

‘A remarkable book. One of the most important books of our age. It had me laughing and crying by turns, sometimes both at the same time, and each page brought a new revelation, a new insight, a new understanding of what it means to be human in this beautiful world, in this strange moment we are passing through.' Luke Turner, author of Out of the Woods; co-founder, The Quietus

‘It's a book destined to join the greats of counterculture nonfiction, like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Cosmic Trigger and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.’ CJ Stone, author of Fierce Dancing

‘What Remains? is a profound and vital book that reads less like a memoir and more like a confession. As honest, terrifying and truthful as a mirror at midday, it embraces life and death equally and is too compassionate to flinch. Inspiring and unforgettable.’ John Higgs, author of William Blake vs the World

‘If there is one book you should read when death comes knocking or you get the sudden urge to build a crop circle in the middle of the night, then this is that book.' Jimmy Cauty, The JAM’s, K2 Plant Hire

‘I loved What Remains? Funny, demystifying, but mostly, deeply moving.’ Kathy Burke, director

'Part memoir, part rant against the traditional funeral business, part manifesto, part just musing on death and facing it with compassion and courage. It’s lovely and thoughtful and may make you rethink a few things.' Guardian
