Produktinformationen zu „The Plague and I (ePub)“
A pre-WW2 American humorist contracts TB and "writes about her seclusion in a way that is painfully, barkingly funny" (Lissa Evans,The Guardian).
"Getting tuberculosis in the middle of your life is like starting downtown to do a lot of urgent errands and being hit by a bus. When you regain consciousness you remember nothing about the urgent errands. You can't even remember where you were going."
Thus begins Betty MacDonald's memoir of her year in a sanatorium just outside Seattle battling the "White Plague." MacDonald uses her offbeat humor to make the most of her time in the TB sanatorium-making all of us laugh in the process.
"Improbably funny. . . equally remarkable." ¿Steve Donoghue,Open Letters Monthly
"Can you imagine writing a whole book about being forbidden to do anything other than lie in bed? But Betty does, and she somehow makes it a riveting chronicle." ¿Lory Widmer Hess,Emerald City Book Review
"An appetizing, well-seasoned feast. MacDonald's sharp, witty observations as she spends almost a year in The Pines Clinic, outside of Seattle, are perfectly pitched... with a huge dollop of idiosyncratic humour... MacDonald is an impressive and engaging storyteller." ¿Jules Morgan,The Lancet
