As a former newspaper editor who worships the written word, I really wanted to enjoy this book. I believe that the purpose of this work is to show people how words, both written and read, can help people suffering from cancer and their caregivers hope and relief. However, while there are some wonderful ideas and advice, it is written in a manner that simply put me to sleep. If it had not been a short book, I would have put it down, which I did several times temporarily, but due to its short length, I forced myself to finish. The bottom line is that the time I wasted reading this book is time I will never have again which sounds excessively harsh, but is one I can’t shake. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Elaborating upon her "Living with Cancer" column in the New York Times, Susan Gubar helps patients, caregivers, and the specialists who seek to serve them. In a book both enlightening and practical, she describes how the activities of reading and writing can right some of cancer's wrongs. To stimulate the writing process, she proposes specific exercises, prompts, and models. In discussions of the diary of Fanny Burney, the stories of Leo Tolstoy and Alice Munro, numerous memoirs, novels, paintings, photographs, and blogs, Gubar shows how readers can learn from art that deepens our comprehension of what it means to live or die with the disease.From a writer whose own memoir, Memoir of a Debulked Woman: Enduring Ovarian Cancer, was described by the New York Times Book Review as "moving and instructive...and incredibly brave," this volume opens a path to healing.
