From the Inside Flap
"The writing is marvelous and the scholarship is
incredible -- but you aren't prepared for the disarming humor, or the
delicate dissection of the psyche that Jain achieves. I could not stop
reading this book."
– Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of Emperor of All Maladies, Pulitzer Prize Winner
"Malignant is a beneficent book, a tough gift for all of us. I—we—need this scholarly, angry, intimate, objective, smart, moving book that teaches us how to endure and even maybe thrive in the ‘rubble.’"
-- Donna Haraway, author of Simians, Cyborgs, and Women
"Malignant is the most important book about cancer in decades. Lochlann Jain brilliantly compels us to look straight into its metastases and cultural malignancies. In cancer's claws we find, not just the limits of existence, but also a poetics of resistance."
-- Jonathan Metzl MD, PhD, author of The Protest Psychosis
“I found myself entertained, informed, surprised and ultimately transformed by this wonderful narrative.”
-- Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone
