Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - By turns somber and funny but above all provocative, Elizabeth Benedict'sRewriting Illness: A View of My Ownis a most unconventional memoir. With wisdom, self-effacing wit, and the story-telling skills of a seasoned novelist, she brings to life her cancer diagnosis and committed hypochondria. As she discovers multiplying lumps in her armpit, she describes her initial terror, interspersed with moments of self-mocking levity as she indulges in 'natural remedies,' among them chanting Tibetan mantras, drinking shots of wheat grass, and finding medicinal properties in chocolate babka. Shetracks the progression of her illness from muddled diagnosis to debilitating treatment as she gathers sustenance from her family and an assortment of urbane, ironic friends, including her fearless 'cancer guru.'In brief, explosive chapters with startling titles - 'Was it the Krazy Glue ' and 'Not Everything Scares the Shit out of Me' - Benedict investigates existential questions: Is there a cancer personality Can trauma be passed on generationally Can cancer be stripped of its warlike metaphors How do doctors' own fears influence their comments to patients Is there a gendered response to illness Why isn't illness one of literature's great subjects And delving into her own history, she wonders if having had children would have changed her life as a writer and hypochondriac. Post diagnosis, Benedict asks, 'Which fear is worse: the fear of knowing or the reality of knowing (164)'Throughout, Benedict's humor, wisdom, and warmth jacket her fears, which are personal, political, and ultimately global, when the world is pitched into a pandemic. Amid weighty concerns and her all-consuming obsession with illness, her story is filled with suspense, secrets, and even the unexpected solace of silence. Artikel-Nr. 9781942134916
