{"product_id":"9780141990859","title":"The Undying : A Meditation on Modern Illness – Boyer Anne (2020)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA week after her 41st birthday, Anne Boyer is diagnosed with highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. For a single mother living from payslip to payslip, the illness is both a crisis and an initiation into new ideas about mortality and the gendered politics of illness. In The Undying, at once a harrowing memoir of survival and a 21st-century Illness as Metaphor, Boyer draws on sources ranging from ancient Roman dream diarists to cancer vloggers to explore the experience of illness. She investigates the quackeries, casualties and ecological costs of cancer under capitalism, and examines the long tradition of women writing about their own illnesses and deaths, including Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker and Susan Sontag. Genre-bending, devastating and profoundly humane, the book offers an insightful meditation on cancer, the cancer industry, and the sicknesses and glories of contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book Service Ltd (Penguin)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024867643739,"sku":"9780141990859","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0501467.jpg?v=1789061144","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/es\/products\/9780141990859","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
