PathoGraphics by Susan Merrill Squier )
A collection of essays exploring how fiction, life-writing, and comics portray illness, medical treatment, and disability.“This multidisciplinary collection of essays examines textual and graphic representations of illness, disability, and pain, describing how the narratives in question use the aesthetics of their medium to embrace contention and communityThe authors reclaim ground previously ceded to traditional paradigms and in the process liberate the mind, the body, and the text.”
—MK Czerwiec, author of Taking Turns: Stories from HIV/AIDS Care Unit 371
“PathoGraphics advances discussions about how to read, visualize, and create comics about illness and disability in complex and welcome ways. The contributors are extremely well informed about the fields from which the book draws: narrative medicine, literary studies, disability studies, comics studies, and graphic medicine. PathoGraphics engagingly shows how these fields can mutually constitute new knowledge when creative practices, intersecting with illness and disability narratives, create a site for artistic innovation with a social justice bent.”
—Ann Fox, Davidson College
