04.05: Louise Aronson
2013-03-15 00:36:41| Powells Books Events Calendar
Louise Aronson's A History of the Present Illness (Bloomsbury) takes readers into overlooked lives in the neighborhoods, hospitals, and nursing homes of San Francisco: the elderly Chinese immigrant who must sacrifice his demented wife's well-being to his Americanized son's authority, the busy Latina physician whose eldest daughter's need for more attention has disastrous consequences, the psychiatrist who advocates for the underserved but may herself be crazy, the gay doctor who learns very different lessons about family from his life and his work, and the young veteran whose injuries become a metaphor for the rest of his life. Together, the deeply humane and linked stories in A History of the Present Illness are at once honest, incisive, and compassionate, offering a portrait of health and illness in American today.
