Illness As Metaphor
by:
Susan Sontag (author)
This landmark study was her ferocious yet coolly intellectual response to her first bout with cancer at the age of 35. Diagnosed as a terminal case and given only a few months to live, the writer survived, by her own account, partly by writing the book in her head during her long treatment.
