Lee Hoinacki, Ivan Illich's longtime collaborator, has just published a book: Dying is Not Death (Resource Publications/Wipf & Stock Pubishers). It "examines from a traditional, humanistic position the act of dying" and includes a chapter specifically focusing on "the ways Illich faced pain and his own death." Some chapters, Hoinacki says, are projects that Illich asked him to do but that had not been completed by the time of Illich's death in December, 2002.
