Barely surviving this lengthy and excruciating recovery from surgery, Mantel cannot cease from writing brilliantly. Along the way she mocks Virginia Woolf as knowing nothing of suffering (actually using the word "wuss"); and reveals that in a gesture hoping to tame her demons, all Woolf''s teeth were extracted. Interesting. Mantel should know that there is no way of comparing mental to physical pain. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Just after 'Bring Up the Bodies' author Hilary Mantel won the Man Booker for 'Wolf Hall', she fell gravely ill. This is her remarkable hospital diary. Originally published in the London Review of Books, this diary by the acclaimed author Hilary Mantel explores in forensic detail her loss of dignity, her determination, the concentration of the senses into an animalistic struggle to get through, and the attendant hallucinations she was plagued by during her stay in hospital. With her health now improved, and the acknowledgement of the Man Booker prize-winning follow-up to 'Wolf Hall', 'Bring Up the Bodies' as one of our greatest works of fiction, 'Ink in the Blood' remains a significant testament to the traumas of illness, and one of the most incredible and haunting essays published in a very long time.
