Description

They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice is much more than a cancer memoir. It's a meditation on living. It's a pause between polarities. In it, cancer is almost an afterthought. Inspired by Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, it celebrates the tiny moments that spotlight the miracle of being alive, the messiness of being human.They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice is a weirdly funny book about mortality. It is about family, genetics, nature vs. nurture, the Rust Belt, EPA clean-up zones, and more. Modeled on the work of stream-of-consciousness writers (Richard Brautigan, Virginia Woolf, Hunter S. Thompson), the book is an exploration of the way a mind works--complete with leaps and spirals--while reflecting on a life thoroughly lived against a dire breast cancer diagnosis.Other sections and chapters explore things like support animals; Emily Dickinson's relationship to salt-water taffy; the intricacies of box turtles; Andy Warhol's gravesite; Elizabeth Taylor's immortal jewels; the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd; The Human Barbie; the cancer-curing potential of weed; and more.In this book beneath all of the insights and pop culture references lives a beautifully flawed family tree filled with terror, hope, mischief, and oh so many reasons to hold on and live."Jakiela is an exceptionally talented writer who is only one New York Times book review away from a national reputation." -- Tony Norman, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"A highly original writer who commemorates life with great humor and a radical, poetic simplicity that allows you to see your own life anew." -- Jane McCafferty, best-selling author of First You Try Everything"Jakiela's big heart and her wisdom about the stupid, terribly imperfect and beautiful world makes me want to read anything she writes." -- Greg Bottoms, author of Angelhead and Pitiful Criminals"Jakiela sees human kindness and human folly in equal measure, and describes all of it vividly, poignantly, and with a brilliant sense of humor." -- Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic and Desire
