Alice Hattrick

4.9/5 (16553 ratings)

Description:Ill Feelings blends memoir, medical history, biography and literary non-fiction to uncover untold case histories of medically unexplained and invisible illness. In 1995 Alice's mother collapsed with pneumonia. Her lungs were infected, which caused flu-like symptoms: fatigue, headache, chest pain, fever. She never fully recovered and was eventually diagnosed with ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Then Alice got ill. Her symptoms mirrored her mother's and appeared to have no physical cause; she received the same diagnosis a few years later. Since this time, neither of them have been well, even if, at times, they believed they were well-enough. Structured around the narrative of the author and her mother's own ill feelings, Alice Hattrick's collective biography of illness branches out into the records of ill health women have written about in diaries and letters. Her cast of characters includes Virginia Woolf and Alice James, the poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Emily Dickinson, Ruskin's lost love Rose La Touche, and the artist Louise Bourgeois. Following in the footsteps of Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams and Emilie Pine's Notes to Self, Ill Feelings is a moving and defiant debut from a bold new voice in narrative non-fiction with a generative, transcendent rage of its own.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
