The book Everyone Loves You When You're Dead by Neil Strauss caught my eye because of the title. (I didn't note the second part until I'd read the book: Journeys Into Fame and Madness.)
People have been saying not to speak ill of the dead since the 6th century BC,
But sometimes that's not as easy as it might appear.
In the 1857 obituary for The Duke of Wellington's nephew, the Morning Chronicle stated he was "redeemed by no single virtue."
A very sad obituary.
