Illness & recovery

November 12th, 2021

Janis Harper, co-founder of The Republic of East Vancouver newspaper, edited a collection of personal essays guaranteed to make baby-boomers cringe, Body Breakdowns: Tales of Illness & Recovery (Anvil $18). Yes, it’s possible to say these true tales of surviving medical problems to fight another day are uplifting, but the promotional material doesn’t go that route. “These stories remind us that everything can change in a moment. And that we’re all in these aging bodies together.” All things must pass. Nobody gets out of here alive. And love is not all you need. 978-1895636-86-4
