Abstrakt: A literary criticism of the book "The Duty to Die Cheaply" by Peter Goldsworthy examines few topics: sardonic humor, narrative competence, and the portrayal of doctors. The story humorously depicts a doctor's experience sitting next to a corpse on a plane, highlighting the dehumanization of medical ethics and the lack of sensitivity in the medical profession. The analysis explores the balance between humor and humanity and raises questions about what makes a good doctor.
