'Intoxicated By My Illness'
'Intoxicated By My Illness' is a collection of essays and excerpts which together provide an intimate account of the 'what-it-is-like'to receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Broyard descibes elements of the illness experience that onlookers are often able to predict, such as grief and awarness of one's finitude, but also provides insight into those features that many would not anticipate, including liberation and self-assuarance. A 'must read' for anyone who is interested in, or wishes to write about, the illness experience.
