The cultural story of triumph -- Character : the damaged self -- Plot : the disrupted life -- Searching for a language -- Narrative form -- Endings.
"Author Kathlyn Conway, a three-time cancer survivor, believes that the triumphalist approach to writing about illness fails to do justice to the shattering experience of disease.
