Description

A darkly comic and moving reflection on what it means to be human in a world without certainties, from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst's own experience with multiple sclerosis. When his life took an unexpected turn, Douglas-Fairhurst found himself tumbling into a world of MRI scans, a disobedient body, and the crushing unpredictability of a diagnosis. This journey took him deep into his own mind, revealing hopes, fears, loves, and losses, as well as the books that sustained him through it all. This memoir is a literary exploration of the human experience, tracing the path from health to illness and forward into a hopeful future. It's an ode to great writing, storytelling, science, and the power of imagination.
