Here she explores the experience of illness as mediated by digital screens, weaving in ancient Roman dream diarists, cancer hoaxers and fetishists, cancer vloggers, corporate lies, John Donne, the ecological costs of chemotherapy, and the many little murders of capitalism. She will break your heart, make you angry enough to spit, and show you contemporary America as a thing both desperately ill and occasionally perversely glorious. -- adapted from jacket 000945564 586__ $$aPulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, 2020. 000945564 60010 $$aBoyer, Anne,$$d1973-$$xHealth. 000945564 650_0 $$aBreast$$xCancer$$xPatients$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000945564 650_0 $$aWomen authors, American$$vBiography. 000945564 650_0 $$aWomen artists$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000945564 650_0 $$aCancer$$xPsychological aspects. 000945564 650_0 $$aMortality$$xPsychological aspects. 000945564 650_0 $$aLiterature$$xPsychology. 000945564 655_7 $$aAutobiographies.$$2lcgft 000945564 85200 $$bgen$$hRC280.B8$$iB645$$i2019 000945564 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:945564$$pGLOBAL_SET 000945564 980__ $$aBIB 000945564 980__ $$aBOOK
