The forthrightness and ferocity with which Audre Lorde greeted every social injustice is in full force in this courageous exploration of her breast cancer and mastectomy. Using the journal, memoir, and essay forms, Lorde gives voice to her "feelings and thoughts about the travesty of prosthesis, the pain of amputation, the function of cancer in a profit economy, confrontation with mortality, the strength of women loving, and the power and rewards of self-conscious living." Lorde powerfully weaves together the three literary forms, allowing her to leap from raw expressions of pain to her inimitably astute social observations. <P> Lorde began writing her journal entries six months after her radical mastectomy; they illustrate her process of integrating the crisis into her life, retelling her experience from detection to follow-up therapies. Lorde's most passionate battle was waged against silence. "This is it, Audre," Lorde wrote. "You're on your own." Where was the model? she asked, seeking another voice to speak to her experience. In <I>The Cancer Journals,</I> Audre Lorde has given us a rich, powerful model that is, alas, still relevant. 1057160 1980 The Cancer Journals: Special Edition total:221|5:104|4:73|3:36|2:6|1:2| 221 934 320 22 1070475 1879960516 9781879960510 5 1 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180732175m/1070475.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1070475.The_Cancer_Journals 5 2 false Wed Oct 22 19:41:39 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 03 08:51:31 -0800 2008 more...]]> 50682 1879960737 9781879960732 146 18 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170371137m/50682.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50682.The_Cancer_Journals_Special_Edition 4 2 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Feb 21 15:10:18 -0800 2007 Wed Feb 21 15:17:36 -0800 2007 1070479 1879960265 9781879960268 70 3 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180732188m/1070479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1070479.The_Cancer_Journals_The_Original_Edition 5 1 false Mon Nov 17 08:40:27 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 15:07:40 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 08:40:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 50682 1879960737 9781879960732 146 18 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170371137m/50682.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50682.The_Cancer_Journals_Special_Edition 2 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Dec 27 16:01:10 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 16:01:48 -0800 2008 both.
