Khakpour's unbridled vulnerability lifts the veil on the many misconceptions surrounding diagnosis and treatment, in addition to detailing the vast uncertainty that comes with living with chronic illness and finding treatment, and hope, in a flawed healthcare system., One of the most highly-anticipated memoirs of 2018, Sick by Porochista Khakpour is a harrowing account of the author's physical, psychological, financial, and spiritual battle with late-stage Lyme disease., Being a writer with Lyme is a double-edged sword... So I thank Porochista Khakpour for doing what I know to be both impossible and necessary: telling her story., This book is something to keep by our desks rather than our bedside tables: not a consolation but a provocation., Khakpour writes honestly about her psychological struggle...Her remarkable story is one of perseverance, survival, and hope., In this unrelenting memoir, Khakpour examines the brutality the world delivers upon our bodies while offering glimpses of hope amid life's uncertainties., Sick doesn't allow us to escape the consequences. It doesn't allow us to forget that women and their emotions are still treated as hysterics and not reasonable reactors to intense pain. In that way, the memoir takes on something larger than the meaning of being a victim of late-stage Lyme. The memoir is about what it means and, more importantly, how it feels to live in a diagnosis-driven society with symptoms that deny diagnosis. Or, rather, symptoms whose diagnosis is denied., Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose,and Khakpour's frank memoir will give hope to others who are struggling with this devastating illness., Porochista Khakpour's memoir, Sick, is a deeply powerful and harrowing odyssey through the most profound mysteries of mind and body., Sick is a riveting plunge into the most profound mysteries of mind and body--the haunted labyrinths of addiction; a chronic illness that mightily resists answers; and, ultimately, a diagnosis that proves just as confounding: late-stage Lyme disease. As Porochista Khakpour works to uncover the roots of the maladies upending her physical and mental health, she raises vital questions that challenge the common perceptions around illness and treatment and recovery. Miraculously, Sick emerges as a force of life., [Khakpour] produces a book that might one day join the shelf of, for lack of a better term, sick lit classics, including The Bell Jar, Illness As Metaphor, and Brain On Fire., Sick unflinchingly examines the challenges of living with chronic illness yet lands us where you might least expect it: hope., Sick details not only the devastation of chronic illness, but also how misdiagnoses can alter someone's quality of life., Porochista Khakpour's memoir, Sick, is an honest, beautifully written look into her struggles with late-stage Lyme disease, including suffering through chronic illness, misdiagnosis, addiction, and the myth of full recovery., Though this is not a story of overcoming illness, Khakpour is an utterly captivating storyteller, and her sense of humor and warmth makes it very easy to understand why she is so beloved amongst her friends, peers, and fans., "Khakpour is a citizen of the world but a foreigner in her own "Lyme-struck" body. Her searing memoir about trying to make peace with a chronic illness redefines both dislocation and belonging."

Synopsis
A Best Book of the Year: Real Simple, Entropy, Mental Floss, Bitch Media, The Paris Reivew, and LitHub . Time Magazine's Best Memoirs of 2018 - Boston Globe's 25 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018 - Buzzfeed's 33 Most Exciting New Books - GQ Best Non Fiction Book of 2018 - Bustle's 28 Most Anticipated Nonfiction Books of 2018 list - Nylon's 50 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018 - Electric Literature's 46 Books to Read By Women of Color in 2018 "Porochista Khakpour's powerful memoir, Sick , reads like a mystery and a reckoning with a love song at its core. Humane, searching, and unapologetic, Sick is about the thin lines and vast distances between illness and wellness, healing and suffering, the body and the self. Khakpour takes us all the way in on her struggle toward health with an intelligence and intimacy that moved, informed, and astonished me." -- Cheryl Strayed, New York Times bestselling author of Wild A powerful, beautifully rendered memoir of chronic illness, misdiagnosis, addiction, and the myth of full recovery. For as long as author Porochista Khakpour can remember, she has been sick. For most of that time, she didn't know why. Several drug addictions, some major hospitalizations, and over $100,000 later, she finally had a diagnosis: late-stage Lyme disease. Sick is Khakpour's grueling, emotional journey--as a woman, an Iranian-American, a writer, and a lifelong sufferer of undiagnosed health problems--in which she examines her subsequent struggles with mental illness and her addiction to doctor prescribed benzodiazepines, that both aided and eroded her ever-deteriorating physical health. Divided by settings, Khakpour guides the reader through her illness by way of the locations that changed her course--New York, LA, Santa Fe, and a college town in Germany--as she meditates on the physiological and psychological impacts of uncertainty, and the eventual challenge of accepting the diagnosis she had searched for over the course of her adult life. A story of survival, pain, and transformation, Sick candidly examines the colossal impact of illness on one woman's life by not just highlighting the failures of a broken medical system but by also boldly challenging our concept of illness narratives., A Best Book of the Year: Real Simple, Entropy, Mental Floss, Bitch Media, The Paris Reivew, and LitHub.
