In some respects I didn’t like the way the author spoke or thought about things and the way she stayed with someone who she didn’t like in the first place just seemed stupid. However by the end of the book I was entranced and I did not want it to end. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When Tania Katan was 21 years old she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She survived, minus a breast. Exactly 10 years later it happened again. Her memoir, loaded with rage and blistering humour, tells of an unforgettable account of living through two bouts with death. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

By the time she was 31, Tania had had cancer twice.
But it’s not just Tania’s young age as a cancer survivor that makes her book so unique. It’s also that she’s a lesbian and at 21, as she was faced with losing her breast, Tania was just figuring out her sexuality and her identity.
From Tania Katan’s memoir I learned that humor can bind wounds for both writer and reader. Also, it can bind people with few commonalities together in that moment of reading. In this memoir, humor is a way of looking slant at tragedy. By this off-center viewpoint, the poignancy is enhanced, and the triumphant penultimate scene of the book made me sob. ( )
