Too Soon to Say Goodbye
Art Buchwald

In an event hosted by Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC, Art Buchwald describes his experiences as a hospice patient. On February 7, 2006, Mr. Buchwald checked into a Washington, DC hospice, expecting to live only three weeks. Five months later, he left hospice for his home in Martha's Vineyard. His book "Too Soon to Say Goodbye" -- published November 7, 2006 -- explores how people deal with illness and death. The book includes eulogies by Tom Brokaw, Ben Bradlee, and Mike Wallace.

Art Buchwald is the author of 33 books, including "Beating Around the Bush" and "I'll Always Have Paris: A Memoir." He became a syndicated columnist after serving in World War II and attending the University of Southern California. He received the Pulitzer Prize for outstanding commentary in 1982 and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1986.

1. Art Buchwald was a favorite of my dads. Glad he's doing well even though I'm missing dad.

No matter how bad the news was, father always said Buchwald could put a smile on your face. True.
