Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy ReviewStill Life is the kind of book that makes you want to be a journalist. With the skill of a secret agent, Melissa Milgrom insinuated herself into the surreal world of taxidermy. She made friends with all of the major players, and was able to write a book with an unbelievably broad scope.
What I loved about the book was the way it jumped from present day to historic. She fleshed out her observations (pun intended), by exploring their historical context. I really enjoyed learning about the Smithsonian and AMNH from the taxidermists perspective. These are two of my favorite museums in the world, and my appreciation for them has certainly been deepened by Still Life.
Not only did she observe taxidermists, but she became one. She stuck her head in the fetid stench of a pickling barrel. She was up to her elbows in squirrel blood. It was GREAT! She even wrote objectively about the "constructive criticism" her squirrel got at a competition.
One warning: I like to read a book while I'm eating dinner. You can't do that with this book. Milgrom's descriptions are way too graphic for mealtime reading. Any other time of the day, though, the book is great.Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy Overview
