THE UNDYING by Anne Boyer
THE UNDYING by Anne Boyer was featured prominently in The New York Review. Nellie Hermann writes: “[Boyer’s] book may be classified as a memoir, but it is really a manifesto, declaring that the telling of a single story is in fact a lie, an act that elides the full sinister horror of the system of cancer. THE UNDYING is slippery and elusive in its very form, and you come away feeling that the book itself encapsulates the frustration with the inadequacies of our existing modes for tackling anything of this size. Though there is a quest here, Boyer’s seems to be not for meaning but instead for a narrative that reveals the chaos all of our narratives are a part of.” Farrar, Straus, & Giroux published THE UNDYING on September 17, 2019.
