Part memoir, part cultural criticism and history, part meditation on the meaning of disease, Shell's work combines the understanding of a medical researcher with the sensitivity of a literary critic. He deftly draws a detailed yet broad picture of the lived experience of a crippling disease as it makes it way into every facet of human existence.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4159/9780674043541}, recid = {1478715}, pages = {1 online resource (334 p.)}, }
