| Summary |
"In this essayistic autobiography, Jan Grue reflects on social structures, disability, loss, relationships, and the body: in short, on what it means to be human"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
"Jan Grue was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at the age of three. His story unfolds as he sifts through his youth with his parents and sister in Norway, his years of study around the world, and his current life as a professor, husband, and father. Interspersed among these memories are elegant, astonishingly wise reflections on the world, social structures, disability, loss, relationships, and the body: in short, on what it means to be human. I Live a Life Like Yours is a love story. It is rich with loss, sorrow, and joy, and with the details of one life. It is a story about accepting one's own body and limitations, and learning to love life as it is while remaining open to hope and discovery."-- Publisher description. |
