PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books
for a Better Life Award in Inspirational MemoirAt the age of
thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training
as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung
cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he
was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he
and his wife had imagined evaporated.When Breath Becomes
Airchronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a nave medical
student ',possessed,' as he wrote, ',by the question of what, given
that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life' into
a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical
place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father
confronting his own mortality.What makes life worth living in the
face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder
toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present?
What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another
fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with
in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.Paul
Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his
words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. ',I began to realize
that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had
changed nothing and everything,' he wrote. ',Seven words from
Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ',I can't go on.I'll go
on.'' When Breath Becomes Airis an unforgettable, life-affirming
reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship
between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became
both.
