On Immunity : An Inoculation Paperback / softback
by Eula Biss
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
In this bold, fascinating book, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear – fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what may be in your children’s air, food, mattresses, medicines, and vaccines.
Reflecting on her own experience as a new mother, Biss investigates the metaphors and myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body.
She extends a conversation with other mothers to meditations on Voltaire’s Candide , Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Susan Sontag’s AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond.
On Immunity is an inoculation against our fear and a moving account of how we are all interconnected – our bodies and our fates.
