Unveiling the Raw Truth: Ariel Gore’s Rehearsals for Dying Challenges Our Perceptions of Love and Cancer
Ariel speaks to this early on within the memoir:
“In grad school, I used to pore through books and papers and primary sources about things near my heart and experience. My professors called it “me-search.” I focused in, stepped back, focused in again. These practices allow me presence in my own life but also to view it at a distance — I can become a simultaneous spectator and chronicler. I describe a coherence that may or may not feel intrinsic. I hold difficult emotional experiences at arm’s length.”
