Here he is, husband and father, scruffy romantic, a shambolic scholar - a man adrift in the wake of his wife's sudden, accidental death. And there are his two sons who like him struggle in their London apartment to face the unbearable sadness that has engulfed them. The father imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness, while the boys wander, savage and unsupervised. In this moment of violent despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, goad, protector, therapist, and babysitter.

Like a beautiful, surreal poem of love and loss
Revisado: 03-26-25
As someone who lost her dad at a very young age, growing up in a home crippled with grief, this is one of the few books I've encounted that describes that surreal, heart wrenching experience. The performer is outstanding. I tried to read the book a couple of years ago, but found it too hard. But the reader performs so extremely well, it's like I got a new layer from the book. So, so grateful for this gem of a book – I love you, I love you, I love you.

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body’s betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer.

I'm grateful beyond words
Revisado: 02-23-21
It's a year after my surgery and 6 months since my last doze of chemo. I was lucky enough to keep my colon and not have a stomi, but I lost my ability to have children at 37 years (I can't even write it here without tearing up) and I'm now in menopause. I also had a drain due to an infection just when the pandemic started. I still have no words to explain how horrible the experience of a cancer treatment is. I'm usually so talkative, but this I'm silent about bc I can see how my loved ones are hurting when I try. They are so sad and scared. I discovered this book bc I really needed help to understand my sitiation. Today I struggle with crippling fatigue. When I listen to this book I understand why my body is so tired, and I try to respect and love it. I am so greateful for Susan Gubar for written this wonderful, smart and honest book. For me the cancer treatment was a existensial paradox: to live I had to undergo treatment that take away my ability to enjoy all my reasons to want to live. This book helped my deal with some of my emotions.
