Get Hold Of Lump: 19 Monologues From A 27-Year-Old Breast Cancer Survivor Envisioned By Leena Luther Accessible Through Textbook

someone who works for Komen for the Cure, I have read many books by women about their breast cancer journeys, This was particularly touching because it was a collection of just short thought pieces serious and comic about the experience from diagnosis through treatment to survivorship.
This can easily be read in a short time in one sitting and I think that it has greater impact because of that, I read this book as a cancer survivor, I'm impressed with the combination of cleverness, seriousness, humor, thoughtfulness, angst, and quick, impressionistic writing style, Based on this book, I'd gladly read anything Ms, Luther writes. I received the book through Goodreads First Reads, Definitely not your typical memoir LUMP is a series of monologues that can be read or performed, Either way, the Leena Luther asks that the reader embrace the performance aspect of her work, I thought, at first, that this might be hard to do, But and maybe having seen the Vagina Monologues aboutdozen times helped I found myself really getting into it, reading certain passages out loud, seriously feeling the spoken emotion behind each word.


Which was refreshing, And we're talking about breast cancer, here, Leena Luther approaches cancer in a very real way sometimes with bitterness, sometimes full of humor, sometimes with fear or with sadness and oftentimes all of those emotions rolled into one.
I found even though I've experienced nothing like this in my life that I was able to connect with Leena, That connection was caused by her amazing ability to express her hopes, fears, insecurities, weirdness and strength on a human level, "Biting, Unsentimental The monologues give voice to a wry, GenY sensibility that is poignantly disarming, . .
