Description
A hopeful look at coping with the ravages of serious chronic illness by an accomplished journalist, a contributing columnist for the New York Times, and former senior producer of the CBS Evening News
Richard Cohen, a veteran journalist, has lived with multiple sclerosis for 30 years. Diagnosed with colon cancer twice in recent years, Cohen chronicles and celebrates a life brimming over with accomplishment and adversity, while struggling for emotional health.
Autobiographical at its roots, reportorial, and expansive, Blindsided explores the effects of illness on raising three children and his relationship with wife Meredith Vieira (host of ABC's The View). He tackles the nature of denial and resilience and the redemptive effects of a loving family, and does so with grace, humor, and lyrical prose.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"In this wrenching memoir, he tells how he has for the past 30 years succeeded in his determination to 'cope and to hope'." (Publishers Weekly)
"Ultimately, his is a story of overcoming adversity and not being beaten by it: a traditional-enough theme for a book, perhaps, but still an important one, if told in the right way. It is here." (Booklist)
"Within [Cohen] retains that miraculous strength all humans have....Blindsided is a powerful memoir, tough in the way Cohen's old news bosses would have wanted it to be tough. It doesn't flinch and it doesn't whine. Its tone is more of self-horror than of self-pity." (The New York Times Book Review)
