In 1978, while recovering from cancer, Susan Sontag wrote 'Illness as Metaphor', a remarkable essay on the allegorical and often blaming use of illness in our culture. It became a classic that Newsweek magazine considered 'one of the most liberating books of its time.' The author's goal is to strip cancer of the allegorical stigma that weighs upon it and show that it is just a disease. In this book, Susan Sontag argues that the most authentic way to face illness—and the healthiest way to be sick—is to resist this metaphorical thinking. This edition also includes 'AIDS and Its Metaphors'.
