Description

Intervals is a deeply moving work that harnesses the political potential of grief to raise essential questions about choice, interdependence and end-of-life care. Marianne Brooker's mother was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in 2009, and as her condition worsened, she made a workshop of herself and her surroundings, combining creativity and activism in inventive ways.

The book is a reckoning with heartbreak, weaving together the author's first and final memories with a study of doulas, living wills and the precarious economics of social, hospice and funeral care. Brooker joins a conversation about choice and interdependence, ultimately imagining care otherwise.
