Cancer Made Me A Shallower Person - A Memoir in Comics

Monday June 12, 2006

Cancer Made Me A Shallower Person"Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person: A Memoir in Comics" is a book from breast cancer survivor Miriam Engelberg. Diagnosed at 43, she thought about what she could do to cope with such a life-changing event. Other patients suggested support groups and hypnotherapy, but Engelberg found her greatest comfort in drawing, her lifelong passion.

"I think in cartoon panels," says Engelberg. Her memoir in comics shows off her own offbeat, on-target, and darkly, devastatingly humorous style. Read a book review of this insistently funny and honest memoir.
