Book Summary
In 1978 Susan Sontag wrote "Illness as Metaphor," a classic work described by
"Newsweek" as "one of the most liberating books of its time." A cancer patient
herself when she was writing the book, Sontag shows how the metaphors and myths
surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering
of patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By
demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, Sontag shows cancer for what it
is--just a disease. Cancer, she argues, is not a curse, not a punishment,
certainly not an embarrassment and, it is highly curable, if good treatment is
followed.
