“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds a dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” That’s the prologue of the book, words by Susan Sontag.

She further writes somewhere “The doctor reminded me of the rabit in Alice in Wonderland. As he kicked me down the hole, he never said the word cancer. In fact , the signs in the clinic were vague: Hematology Centre. But the pregnant pause told me i was being inducted into a new club: ‘Fatal.’ Pause. ‘Incurable.'”
