Meer over het boek
Exploring the nuanced role of illness metaphors, this book argues that even seemingly problematic phrases can offer creative and empowering interpretations. Through analysis of contemporary North American writers, it highlights how figures like Susan Sontag and Audre Lorde transform the metaphor "illness is a fight" into expressions of agency and self-discovery. Engaging with the Medical Humanities, it advocates for a deeper understanding of metaphorical language in illness narratives, responding to a growing demand for metaphor literacy.
