[Cancer and Society] The art of death

Edwidge Danticat's The Art of Death, Writing the Final Story is an intimate look at one woman's journey to make sense of death, including the recent loss of her mother to stage IV ovarian cancer. To understand death, the novelist turns to her innate comfort, the written word. Drawing on the great authors and their representations of death, she begins to make sense of the great loss she has seen in her life.
