Our culture doesn't like to discuss death but this does in such a thoughtful way. It's real and honest. But it's also about living. And how living and dying are connected. Living with the knowledge you are dying.

detailing his time in med school, the subsequent residency, and his diagnosis and treatment, kalanithi weaves the tale of a man in the unwanted yet unique position of being both a doctor and a patient, providing a rare POV of being on both sides of medical care. the memoir is seeped w/ an undercurrent of calm and mulling, all held tgt by kalanithi's poignant writing. im v glad that he's written and left this book as part of his legacy.
