Cancer, I'll Give You One Year

Cancer, I''ll Give You One Year: A Non-Informative Guide To Breast Cancer, A Writer''s Memoir In Almost Real Time is not about eating kale. The book is 100 percent narrative nonfiction and 0 percent self-help. It was actually written for the author''s children in case she died. This sounds morbid, but maybe ""pointed"" and ""candid"" are better words. Embracing candor as an aesthetic, this real-time story hits upon the sacred, the profane, a trip to Epcot, a colonoscopy, her kids'' responses to everything, and O. J. Simpson''s parole hearing. Writing-centric, voice-driven, and conscious of a death sentence--no diets or exercises are offered, but the author may give horrible parenting advice. It''s undoubtedly funny, but also a meditation on meaning.
