Reviews

"lllness as Narrative is an innovative work that provides an exemplary model of productive ways to read, interpret, and (by extension) teach literature (autobiography, essays, cultural analyses, fiction, poetry, and blogs) by and about real people with real diseases and disabilities."-- "Lynn Z. Bloom, University of Connecticut"

Ann Jurecic's readings of Sontag, Fadiman, Sedgwick, and Latour carve new pathways between literary theory and illness narratives. Illness as Narrative will refresh your vision, draw you to new texts, and help you teach.-- "Maura Spiegel, coauthor of The Grim Reader"

Offers substantive confirmation of the continuing scholarly trends in support of the genre of narrative medicine and for the primary value of the patient's voice in the practice of medicine. . . . Jurecic is a mindful reader and she successfully provides a succinctly written arc of the emergence of illness narratives in the twentieth century. . . . A must read for all Literature and Medicine courses and certainly will be added to Medical Humanities programs around the country.-- "All Heart Matters"
