To understand the human menaing of illness, we must turn to the stories we tell about illness, suffering, and medical care. This book explores the many dimensions of what illness means to the suffers and to those around them, drawing on depictions of illness in great works of literature as well as on non-fiction accounts. For this revised edition, Stories of Sickness has been extensively updated and expanded, especially with new material on narrative studies and on narrative ethics.
