At the Will of the Body - Arthur W. Frank

In this deeply affecting memoir, Arthur W. Frank explores the events of illness from within: the transformation from person to patient, the pain, the wonder, and the ceremony of recovery. To illuminate what illness can teach us about life, Frank draws upon his own encounters with serious illness -- a heart attack at age thirty-nine and, a year later, a diagnosis of cancer. In poignant and clear prose, he offers brilliant insights into what happens when our bodies and emotions are pushed to extremes. Ultimately, he examines what it means to be human.

Arthur W. Frank received the Natalie Davis Spingarn Writer's Award from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship in 1996 He teaches at the University of Calgary.

In his eloquent work, Frank explores the events of illness from within: the transformation from person to patient, the pain, the sense of wonderment at the body -- despite its failings -- and the ceremony of recovery. Arthur Frank's book is a dramatic contribution to our lives.
--M. Scott Peck.
