Like anyone faced with a life-altering personal trauma, she sought out a coping mechanism. While fellow patients championed the benefits of support groups and hypnotherapy, Engelberg found her greatest comfort in drawing, her lifelong passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCancer Made Me a Shallower Person\u003c\/em\u003e puts Engelberg's life in focus the best way she knows how -- with cartoons. Her graphic approach to a very serious subject follows in the tradition of Art Spiegelman's award-winning Maus, but in her own offbeat, on-target, and darkly, devastatingly humorous style. From sex and wigs to nausea and causes -- Was it overzealous cheese consumption or not enough multivitamins? -- Engelberg leaves no aspect of cancer unexamined. In this remarkable \"memoir in comics,\" she takes a clear-eyed, deliciously sardonic look at caring friends and relatives, doctors, treatments, and support groups while never losing her guarded optimism and, most important, her sense of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43099522760819,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_7a0be566-440d-47d5-a0f8-32b8c3ea30a3.jpg?v=1748702952","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/cancer-made-me-a-shallower-person-a-memoir-in-comics-9780060789732","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
