THERE ARE ALMOST NO WORDS to describe how exquisitely happy I am to have a magazine piece of mine be chosen as the very first story showcased in a new online New York Times feature. The first piece of memoir I ever published, now thirty years ago, it is also the piece for which I am best known. What an honor to see it here. And what a surprise. I had no idea this was in the works. Enjoy.

Congratulations for being recognized for this book again. It is a timeless piece of work that is as educational as it is heartbreaking. I have never read a science article that was as memorable or educational on disease. I think it is a testament to your life’s work on bringing well written memoir to the forefront. Thank you.
