Rating: Summary: Bravo for her baldness! Review: Catherine Lord has written what may well be the most complex, multi-layered account of the day to day drama, fear, anxiety and exhaustion that are all part of going through a major illness, in this case, breast cancer. Simultaneously full of rage and love, biting wit and medical detail, this book, by a sophisticated art critic and writer, is a must for any woman ( and some men) who desires more specifics of life after initial diagnosis. Although very real, it reads like a great novel. Her baldness doesnt pull any punches but will be a great companion.

Rating: Summary: Baldness unveiled Review: Catherine Lord's book exemplifies the move towards a biting, honest cultural criticism that takes its power from its visceral link to personal trauma. Amazingly enough, Lord manages to explore and perform her battle with breast cancer with humor and pathos without lapsing into self-indulgence. This is a deeply moving book but also an instructive one, subtly instructing the reader in essential emotional strategies of survival.
