Description
SEXUALITY AFTER A CANCER DIAGNOSIS
"Two days ago, the effects of the androgen-deprivation shot a doctor's assistant had injected under my skin a month earlier kicked in. And now I don't want." When a cancer diagnosis, and then various treatments, eliminate libido, the echoes of love and desire in the form of memories remain. What happens to a life when sexual expression is lost? Enrique Fernandez's Pretty to Think So weaves questions of sex, mortality, and identity with a lyricism that readers will not soon forget.
