Anatole Broyard, a writer and former book critic for the New York Times, wrote this book between the time he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and his death 14 months later. What is compelling about this book is his insistence that medicine acknowledge whole persons. “When a doctor refuses to acknowledge a patient, he is, in effect abandoning him to his illness,” he wrote. The book is also full of wonderful humour and style. In his inimitable way, the author was saying that there were aspects of self that cancer would never touch.

Intoxicated by My Illness

Broyard, Anatole, Ballantine Books, 1993.

Anatole Broyard, auteur et ancien critique littéraire du New York Times, a écrit ce livre entre le moment où on lui a diagnostiqué un cancer de la prostate et sa mort 14 mois plus tard. Ce qui est captivant dans ce livre, c’est l’insistance de l’auteur pour dire que la médecine doit s’intéresser à la personne dans son entièreté. « Lorsqu’un médecin refuse de s’intéresser à un patient, écrit-il, il l’abandonne en fait à sa maladie ». Le livre se démarque aussi par son ton humoristique et son style. À sa manière inimitable, l’auteur raconte qu’il y avait des aspects de sa personne que le cancer n’aurait jamais pu atteindre.
