• "Succeeds brilliantly....He lives as a writer and we are the wealthier for it." THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD Anatyole Broyad, long-time book critic, book review editor, and essayist for THE NEW YORK TIMES wants to be remembered. He will be, with this collection of irreverent, humorous essays he wrote concerning the ordeals of life and death--many of which were written during the battle with cancer that led to his death in 1990. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR

Shelfari edited the first sentence of Intoxicated by My Illness Thursday, July 16 2009.

• SO MUCH OF a writer's life consists of assumed suffering, rhetorical suffering, that I felt something like relief, even elation, when the doctor told me that I had cancer of the prostate.
