Literary Nonfiction. Women's Health. Based on autobiographic experiences,WHO IN THIS ROOM is a gripping collection of creative nonfiction that pushes the boundaries of story and memoir. Kate's adventurous life is interrupted by a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer, giving her a 10% chance of living 5 years. But her story isn't just about cancer. It is a true tale of survival that is both lived and dreamt. It's about joy found in lemon trees or fly-fishing. It's about the survival instinct that helps us re-emerge and engage with the world. "Katherine Malmo has written an unflinching, unsentimental, profoundly moving, wickedly funny...deeply courageous book detailing one woman's diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from inflammatory breast cancer.... [She has] the power to reconnect us to that part of ourselves...that gritty, humored, resilient, unspeakably beautiful spark in the center of each of us that knows only how to lock its jaws and hang on."—Pam Houston Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

"It is written in second person and the use of you gave me much needed distance from the material, allowing me the freedom to escape the story while telling it. It allowed me to pretend everything that was happening to me was happening to someone else." (pg. xiii).
As Malmo continued writing her pieces, she found that she needed less and less distance. The first two stories she wrote are in second person. The next bunch are all in third person. By the end, she was comfortable enough with her writing and experiences to take ownership of them. The last two stories are in first person.
Malmo's stories are heartbreaking and brutally honest. Who In This Room will surely be a comfort to women who feel alone as they go through similar experiences and emotions. (
