| Summary |
Moving effortlessly between references to Don Giovanni and the Rolling Stones, Ezra Pound and Buffalo Bill, and studded with pages from his own diaries and hospital notebooks, [Sic] is a mesmerizing, hallucinatory glimpse into a young man's battle against disease and a celebration of art, language, music, and life. The author, a young composer, tells the story of his diagnosis with an aggressive form of cancer and the aftermath. |
