Complete Book of the Human Body by Anna Claybourne
The groundbreaking graphic memoir that inspires breast cancer patients to fight back--and do so with style. What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast? That's the question that sets this powerful, funny, and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer--from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between. -One of Time's top ten graphic novels of the year-Slate.com's medical book of the year
-One of the Wall Street Journal's five best books on living with illness
-Finalist, Books for a Better Life
-Finalist, National Cartoonists Society Graphic Novel of the Year Powerful . . . A vibrant, neon chronicle with plenty of attitude . . . A triumph of imagination and spirit.
