Corbett's fiction again takes a more critical view of public fashions, this time considering the effect of public burial and its relationship to ecology writ-large. In this chapter, traditional burial is considered a pathway to cannibalizing the dead. By omitting the public display of the body, the pomp and circumstance surrounding the dead, Corbett works against the cultural norm of interring loved ones and the hallowedness of churchyard graves. What is fascinating in this excerpt is that cremation seems to harken back to the overall health of the state--syncing with our first chapter on the idea of public over individualized health.
