Cancer, I'll Give You One Year: A Non-Informative Guide to Breast Cancer: A Writer's Memoir, in Almost Real Time

By Jennifer Spiegel

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.
