{"product_id":"dying-a-memoir","title":"Dying: A Memoir","description":"\"Bracing and beautiful . . . Every human should read it.\" —The New York Times\n\nA New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and 2017 Critics' Pick\nOne of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2017\n\nAt the age of sixty, Cory Taylor is dying of melanoma-related brain cancer. Her illness is no longer treatable: she now weighs less than her neighbor’s retriever. As her body weakens, she describes the experience—the vulnerability and strength, the courage and humility, the anger and acceptance—of knowing she will soon die.\n\nWritten in the space of a few weeks, in a tremendous creative surge, this powerful and beautiful memoir is a clear-eyed account of what dying teaches: Taylor describes the tangle of her feelings, remembers the lives and deaths of her parents, and examines why she would like to be able to choose the circumstances of her death.\n\nTaylor’s last words offer a vocabulary for readers to speak about the most difficult thing any of us will face. And while Dying: A Memoir is a deeply affecting meditation on death, it is also a funny and wise tribute to life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1941040705\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1941040705.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Taylor, Cory\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
