A gut wrenching, thought provoking book that studies pain, mortality, medical treatments and illness in general centering on the author's own life and her battle against breast cancer.. Although she obviously survives this is not a feel good book. Being a poet and a teacher she does a tremendous amount of historical research on breast cancer and death going all the way back to the Greeks. She emphasized John Donne's poetry in particular. She is laser focused in her indictment of our current health care system and its inadequacy for patients like she was. A very important book. Premio Pulitzer de No Ficción 2020 Premio Windham-Campbell de No Ficción 2020 Una semana después de cumplir 41 años, a la poeta Anne Boyer le diagnosticaron un cáncer de mama triple negativo de pronóstico grave que requería un tratamiento muy agresivo. Como madre soltera habituada a vivir al día y a prodigar cuidados antes que a recibirlos, la dramática enfermedad supuso una crisis, pero también un punto de partida para recapacitar sobre la mortalidad y las políticas de género relacionadas con la salud. Desmorir es la descarnada narración del proceso de enfermedad y supervivencia de la autora, pero es también un libro de memorias que se rebela contra el género memorístico, un recuento personal que rechaza limitarse a lo individual. Sumándose a la larga lista de autoras que han escrito sobre el cáncer, como Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker y Susan Sontag, Boyer reflexiona con furia, brillantez y clarividencia sobre la enfermedad y la salud en nuestra sociedad, abordando temas como la experiencia corporal y mental del dolor, la proliferación de charlatanes y oportunistas, el abuso de las farmacéuticas, el cinismo político en el debate de sanidad pública versus privada y, en definitiva, la hipocresía que rodea la industria de la salud en nuestro mundo. Obra reconocida con el Premio Pulitzer de No Ficción en 2020, profundamente humana y conmovedora, Desmorir es una imprescindible meditación acerca de la enfermedad en un mundo capitalista, y acerca de las miserias y las grandezas de la vida contemporánea. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

What I HATED! The story itself. In fact, everyone should hate it with the topic of CANCER, so that was not a reason why I did not give it five stars. I also despised a lot of the history presented, as most of it did not really contribute to the story, was rambling, and out of chronological order, which personally drove me nuts. When you mention something toward the end of the book that happened in the 1800's, it might be time to revamp the organization of the book. I also hated the graphic parts of treatment, and those who have a weak stomach, a weak heart, or just can't handle graphic situations might either want to read this a little at a time, or skip certain parts. I literally had to put the book down at one point, because I had just eaten. I have read a lot of gross stuff, but graphic mutilation and/or death are two things my brain does not process well. Again, different strokes for different folks, so I did not take a star away for that, but I hated it! I thought that the story rambled at times, as if she wrote it while actually on treatment and every random thought that ever floated into her brain was put onto paper. A little of that is a good thing to see if that is what cancer does to you, but I am not convinced that was what happened. All I do know that when you use a lot of big words and disjointed ideas over and over, is that filler? If this is a true book to enlighten, my personal opinion is that it should have been written so the average person could easily understand. That would be about a 6th grade level, as we are no longer a huge nation of readers. The outline of the book also drove me nuts. The prologue did not lead well into the book, in my opinion. I saw a lot of crazy numbering for what appeared to be chapters? This may change, as the final book does not hit the stands until October. I would rather see no number versus a bunch of 1s and 2s that didn't mean too much to me. Sounded more like the outline of a research paper. I DO understand the book did give a lot of research details, but still, a book should read and feel like a book. I can see a movie resulting from this book, as there is a good storyline in the middle of all of the chaos. ( )
