About This Item
Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press. 1995. Octavo Size [approx 15.5 x 22.8cm]. Very Good condition. xviii, 213 pages. Both the collective portrait of those who suffer from some type of illness or disability and a cogent analysis of their stories within a larger framework of narrative theory. Drawing on the work of authors such as Oliver Sacks, Anatole Broyard, Norman Cousins, and Audre Lorde, as well as the people he met during the years he spent among different illness groups, Frank recounts a stirring collection of illness stories, ranging from the well-known to the private testimonials of people with cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, and disabilities. Their stories are more than accounts of personal suffering: they abound with moral choices and point to a social ethic. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . 1st thus. Softcover.
