de Lucy Grealy; Foreword by Suleika Francey Jaouad
Descripción de contraportada
A New York Times Notable Book
Engaging and engrossing, a story of grace as well as cruelty, and a demonstration of [Grealy s] own wit and style and class. Washington Post Book World
At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures with unique insight what it is like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.
[A] book that shares what it s like to be really different from other people . . . With exquisite prose and steely strength. USA Today
LUCY GREALY (1963 2002) was an award-winning poet and a memoirist. In addition to Autobiography of a Face, she was the author of the essay collection As Seen on TV: Provocations.
