The ultimate moving life-and-death story

Omschrijving

Now in paperback, this memoir chronicles how the author, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. It asks what makes a virtuous and meaning life, what is the source of human identity, and what to do when you have a child as your own life fades away. Kalantithi died, aged 37, in 2015, while writing the book When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father. What makes life worth living in the face of death?
