Ein w?tendes Manifest gegen den Umgang mit Krankheit, ausgezeichnet mit dem wichtigsten amerikanischen Literaturpreis. &t;br/&t; Eine Woche vor ihrem 41. Geburtstag wird der preisgekr?nten Dichterin Anne Boyer ein hoch aggressiver Brustkrebs diagnostiziert. F?r die alleinerziehende Mutter, die sich von Scheck zu Scheck hangelt, ist diese katastrophale Erkrankung ein Ansto?, Sterblichkeit und die Geschlechterpolitiken von Krankheit neu zu denken. Boyer beginnt, sich schreibend mit dem Krebs und dem gesellschaftlichen Umgang damit auseinanderzusetzen. &t;br/&t; Die Unsterblichen ist zugleich ersch?tternder Bericht einer ?berlebenden sowie eine gro? angelegte Untersuchung von Krankheit im 21. Jahrhundert. Anne Boyer zieht antike Traumtageb?cher zurate, analysiert die Kapitalisierung heutiger Gesundheitsversorgung, besch?ftigt sich mit Verschw?rungstheorien rund um Krebs, mit Schmerz und wie man ?ber ihn sprechen kann, aber auch mit selbsternannten Doloristen, die den Schmerz bef?rworten, mit Krebsfetischisten und den L?gen gro?er Unternehmen; sie unterzieht John Donne einer erneuten Lekt?re, erf?hrt, dass ihr Chemotherapie-Medikament vor ?ber hundert Jahren als Senfgas in Produktion ging, und findet schlie?lich Antworten in der Literatur anderer Autorinnen, die ?ber ihre Erkrankungen und den nahenden Tod geschrieben haben: Kathy Acker, Audre Lorde, Susan Sontag, Virginia Woolf. &t;br/&t; Alle Genregrenzen weit hinter sich lassend, hat Anne Boyer ein zutiefst ber?hrendes und poetisches Buch ?ber Krankheit im gegenw?rtigen Kapitalismus geschrieben.
