| Annotation | Drawing on the work of other authors and on the stories of people he has met, the author presents a collection of illness narratives. He identifies three basic narratives of illness: restitution narratives anticipate getting well; chaos narratives suggest illness stretching on for ever without respite; and quest narratives are about finding that illness can be transformed into a means for the ill person to become someone new. |
