未死之身：一位乳腺癌病人的生死独白
(us)anne Boyer
Just one week after her forty-first birthday, the poet Anne Boyer was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, an extremely dangerous form of breast cancer. For a single mother, she has always been the caregiver rather than the one who needs to be taken care of, but in the face of illness, she must accept vulnerability, endure pain, and start fighting. This catastrophic disease is both a crisis and a new opportunity to rethink the gender politics of death and illness. This book is "Metaphor of Disease" that belongs to the 21st century, a heartbreaking memoir of survival. The poet plunges into the history of female writers writing about their illness and contemplating death, traveling with Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker, Susan Sontag, and all other women who have suffered from physical pain.
